Jeremiah 31:3 I have loved you with an everlasting love;
I have drawn you with loving-kindness.

He goes on and comforts Rachel's weeping for her children. He says after she is not to be comforted, Restrain your voice from weeping and your eyes from tears for your work will be rewarded, declares the Lord, They will return from the land of the enemy. So there is hope for your future declares the Lore. Your children will return to their own land.

Don't get me wrong. My boys are incredible people. I think they are amazing. Sometimes I am blown away at the gifts that God has given them. That is when I grieve that they don't love Him like breath.(for today) I know that God works all things for those who love Him and are called according to His purpose BUT I get impatient. I feel like I have some really good plans and I keep telling Him them and I think oh He just didn't hear me I am sure.
I am for today learning to be at peace in His timing.
Mollie and I leave for Atlanta for the choir competition. She wanted me to go and be a chaperon. I feel so grateful that she wants me to go. At the time it sounded like a great idea, the trip was so Chicago now it is changed to Atlanta. Ok try to picture over 100 kids on buses. Now my thinking is much clearer. (OH MY GOSH)
I have to keep telling myself really she is just here another two years, Preciouys time to spend. I will get there by the time we leave.
Yesturday I planted the broccli, yellow squash and the zuccini, two bell pepper plants and onions. That is in the front bed I haven't planted much in the real vegetable garden. I am hatching praying manttis to put in the beds. Fun for me. I see God so clearly when I am outside. How can you not look around and see what an incredibly creative Father we have.
I work at the school appriciation luncheon from 10:30 to 1:30. I then go back to work. I have some to do before I go. I made some of my moms pies. Fun making them with Mollie last night when I got off.
For today I choose to wait on the Lord.

Choosing to wait on Him shows how much you trust Him. I will choose that today as well. Thank you for being His vessel, Peggy. I love you!
