It is so very interesting to me that the events of the past month or so of my life all seem to be coming together with similarities. Conversations, books read, professional experiences, and personal journey are all coming together to the point that it just makes me stop and say, "Okay Lord...I don't exactly what is going on here, but I'm willing to learn...I'm listening". I'm not sure what this all means, but in order to learn what is necessary you need to pause and stop long enough to listen. It cannot be a coincidence that all of these things are happening at the same exact moment in time.
It almost feels like a crossroads to me, a point that I do not want to skip over, a moment in time that I want to pause long enough to catch it all, whatever that may be. Do you ever get the feeling as if you are on the verge of a breakthrough or something is about to happen, even if you are the only one who sees it or notices it?! I just get the feeling that I'm at one of those points in time and I feel more than ever that there is something here for me to learn, something big to take away, a new "arm" to my path and journey that maybe I wasn't expecting!! It's so exciting, scary, and filled with hope and anticipation for all the possibility that may lie ahead! I don't want to miss anything. I want to grow, to change, to be challenged (oh no, did I just say that!), to become more than what I dream of for myself, to explore new possibilities. I may be in my mid-30s but life is just beginning for me. There is so much of life that I want to experience.
I know with absolute certainty that God ordered my steps for me to be in this place and at this time. It makes this time in my life that much more special, real, important. I must and will learn to listen so that I can truly hear and respond.
God, for whatever this means on the journey of life that you are taking me and Grayson, I am listening and waiting. My heart is full with expectation and anticipation!

I've been in your exact place wondering where God was taking me and my family. We've been through some very difficult circumstances in the last 6 months (although they started over a year ago!) but, in the midst of it all, God was faithful and he showed himself just at the perfect moment. Too early and it would have seemed like a coincidence and too late would have broken my faith. He does everything in His perfect timing. I'm praying that your moment comes...and when it does....it's perfect.
