Today I'm getting ready to have my sister be with us for the week. Christmas is only 4 days away! I'm ahead of the game this year with cards done, gifts bought, and packages mailed. All that's left to do is a little wrapping and enjoy the season.
I can't wait to see my sister. In a couple of months she'll be deployed to Cuba for the next 18 months. So I'm hoping this will be a great year for us to be together.
When we first moved into our apt in May I remember thinking as long as we're out of here before the holidays I'll be fine, but if we're in this tiny place I will absolutely go crazy...well, the holidays are here and thankfully that hasn't been the case...God has brought me some wonderful neighbors, great kids in the neighborhood for the girls to play with and even a beautiful tree that fits perfectly!
Proverbs 19:21 comes to mind, "Many are the plans in a man's heart but it's the Lord's purpose that prevails"...I don't know what the Lord's purpose is in having us here and for sooo long...but I pray that I won't miss what He's trying to teach me b/c I'm anxious to move on...one day we'll have another house, and one day we'll look back on this season with great reflection. "As for God, His way is perfect!" (Ps 18:30)
