I Never Get Used To It

I absolutely NEVER EVER get used to watching God work. Way back when Twila Paris had a song with that line, 'I never get you to what you do.' PAUSE FOR LAUGHTER at the fact that I not only listened to Twila Paris but loved it :) PAUSE END

It is amazing to see God's hand at work. While this last year has been a bit of a surprise and at so many times I found myself doubting God at moments in areas I never thought I would. Even in that though, I did find myself still never getting used to watching God work, or seemingly "not work." There is just something about it for me. I clung to the phrase Pastor Bill from Redding said in this last year, "God is gooder than you think, change the way you think." Even when my emotions and fear said different I made my mind at least say that hoping it would sink in :)

Yesterday I saw God at work in ways that only He could do. I watched him melt Sam's boss' heart on an issue that seemed insurmountable. One of those moments you "just know" that nothing is going to change this person's mind. Hours later I sat stunned, yet NOT surprised at all, that his mind changed. I just knew something had to happen or that it was going to lead to something else. Not sure where all that faith and peace came from--months and months of trials and growing I suspect. God worked in me in spite of me I think :)

Today is my last day at work. It's not really bittersweet, I am ready to be done and do the "next" thing. Maximillian is all ready in "go position" like Sam likes to say. The midwife is pleased and happy with where everything is at with me and Max. Now I am looking forward to some time in the sun (if it would ever really turn to spring here! It was freezing degrees on Monday) and reading and getting a pedicure and getting my hair done one last time before Max arrives :)

We will of course keep you all posted at when the little turkey decides it's his birthday!!
