Waiting...

Are you waiting? For a husband, a wife, a child, for the next available customer in line? Through out the day, through out our week, during seasons of our lives we are all waiting on something. Ultimately we are waiting on our Heavenly Father and our true home.

I am waiting... for Anne to get back from EA, for football season to start, for Christmas break (my first real vacation all semester), for my purpose in life to drop from heaven on a blinking sign, to start a family, always waiting... I hope I will always be anxiously anticipating meeting my father face to face. Along with waiting is the longing that is associated with whatever you are waiting for at the moment.

This is a concept, a theme that was discussed often in my small group last year. Several girls were anxiously awaiting their weddings this summer, most all were awaiting graduation and moving out of Auburn, waiting to find a job.... they (we) were and still are frustrated with waiting.

My precious friend Jenny sent me a sermon this week that spoke truth straight to my heart on this very subject... leaving me with several things I have continued to pray through this week.

On a side note... I am so thankful for Jenny. She is one of the best friends a girl could ask for... she is so loyal. She has a God given ability to be a really good friend to a lot of people. She makes our friendship a priority and I am so thankful for her wisdom and laughter. I am so excited to be heading to Nashville this weekend to see her and many other precious girls...

So, I was just reading my notes I took while listening to this sermon and I couldn't figure out how to 1. get my point across clearly and 2. not give all the good parts before you even listen. I will leave you with... Sometime this week, after listening to the sermon... go to Psalm 139 and let the truth sink into your very being. Do you believe His words? There is a raw insatiable need for the real, living God! The giver of all our desires, longings and things greatly anticipated!

SERMON: No link, but it's on i-tunes for FREE... go to Breakaway Ministries podcast and Christy Nockels is #74 - Women's Breakaway (not the video podcast.)

My (the) Best Friend's Wedding

I put that "the" in there for you Anne, just to get on your nerves! Ha! Well, the weekend is over and it was more perfect than I could have ever imagined! Katherine was BEAUTIFUL! I cried all weekend, it was fitting since I have cried since before she even knew she was getting engaged, but most of the world knew.

It was a perfect picture of God's faithfulness and a wonderful display of His glory! Friday night we were all privledged to hear Mr. Cunningham read "Robert's Perfect Woman," a list of items he wrote when he was 16. It was beyond AWESOME! I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. I think #10 was everyone's favorite!

It was hard to let her go, but she will be just around the corner, living with a boy! I think several of my other blog friends have written about the wedding, but I couldn't pass it up... this was one of those big events! Here are some pics for your viewing pleasure!
