I'm waiting

I'm graduating this year and I can't help but have that feeling, the same feeling that most high school graduates feel, that my adult life is now beginning. It's such an exciting feeling, and yet, at the same time, it's scary. Still, I find there are so many things I just can't wait for! I feel like a little kid who just can't wait for their next birthday to come. I can't help but be a little, a lot, impatient.  I can't wait to see what the Lord has planned for me!  Yet, the Lord keeps telling me to rest and wait patiently.  The following is a song that I feel is just for me.

While I'm Waiting

I'm waiting 
I'm waiting on You, Lord 
And I am hopeful 
I'm waiting on You, Lord 
Though it is painful 
But patiently, I will wait 

I will move ahead, bold and confident 
Takeing every step in obedience 
While I'm waiting 
I will serve You 
While I'm waiting 
I will worship 
While I'm waiting 
I will not faint 
I'll be running the race 
Even while I wait 

I'm waiting 
I'm waiting on You, Lord 
And I am peaceful 
I'm waiting on You, Lord 
Though it's not easy 
But faithfully, I will wait 
Yes, I will wait 
I will serve You while I'm waiting 
I will worship while I'm waiting 
I will serve You while I'm waiting 
I will worship while I'm waiting 
I will serve you while I'm waiting 
I will worship while I'm waiting on You, Lord

Review

I just read two very good books and I thought I'd share them.

Till We Have Faces: A Myth Retold~C.S. Lewis

This was a great book! It was one of those books where, when you get to the end, you finally

grasp the enormity of it all! There are so many hidden treasures that you finally understand the value of in the last chapters. It was eye opening for me and explained in a different way, the things we all face in life. It's about three sisters, princesses, Orual being the oldest, then Redival, and their half sister, Istra / Psyche. They live in a country called Glome, the people worship the goddess Ungit known to the greeks as Aphrodite. Even if you don't really like myths, it's a great book!

Tortured For Christ~Richard Wurmbrand

I've had mixed feelings about reading this book for a very long time, because

reading about unspeakable tortures doesn't settle well with me. Rather, it gives me big fears and so I generally like to avoid reading that type of thing. But I find I can't avoid the urge to know, and I finally give in and read the book. I've avoided this book in particular because I knew with a title like that, it was bound to be an emotionally difficult read; and so it was, but I

was ever so glad I finally decided to read it. It really opened my eyes to what not only happened but what still happens to Christians in communist countries. It really made me want to strive more to live my faith in more of a real way. I'm so very grateful that my mom can be free to teach us the scriptures! While in other countries, if a mother teaches her children the gospel, she will have her children taken from her for life. Yet, that mother will still teach her children the gospel even with that deathly real threat looming over her. The western Christians sleep while the eastern Christians, going through countless brutal tortures, endure it with a prayer of love, for salvation for their torturers. It's time for us to wake up and help the body who is suffering! They love their enemies in a very real sense, we need to love them too, but we also need to be on our knees for our brothers and sisters who suffer more than we can imagine. Instead of closing our eyes and ears to the reality, we need to except the reality and act on it! This book will open your eyes and hearts to what God can do through us, the free Christians.

He Has Risen Indeed!

Happy easter everyone! May the Lord bless you richly as we celebrate the most special time in the history of the world. This video is perfect for the holiday, expect to cry while you watch it and make sure to have the tissue box near by.

Two More!

Well our goat, Jessamine, had twins! Two does! That makes a total of eight kids borne this year, four bucks and four does! That's the last kidding for the spring. We'll breed four more to be due in the fall so no more kids till then. 

These two kids are really cute! I've decided to keep one of them, I named her Plumeria. She is so cute!
