Ok, so I am a little silly tonight. Partially due to a venti white mocha that I consumed at 5:30 and also due to the fact that my brain is about to explode from all of the bad news I have received in the last week. So many of my friends and family are suffering right now and I am too far away to comfort them. People dealing with suicide, health issues, infidelity, and the loss of a beautiful baby. I am overcome by the burden that these people have to bare, thankfully not alone. Not only do these people have support from the body of Christ they have the Lord to lean on. "Complete Joy". A phrase used by the senior pastor of HDC while he was teaching on John 15. The words were imprinted in my brain and gave me new perspective on what it means to be joyful.
I was at worship rehearsal tonight for 7. Usually, I am too caught up in the musicality of everything during a rehearsal and am too distracted. Tonight was a little different. Our last song was "Everything" by Tim Hughes, which was what I needed to hear. Although I have always enjoyed the song, it hadn't grabbed my attention the way that it did tonight. I am thankful that He is my everything!
As for other news, my dear friend, Michelle left for Africa today. I will miss her and hope to visit. She is irreplaceable.
No news on the adoption front, thus the "While We Wait" title. Hmmmm. . . maybe if I change the title of my blog to "She's On Her Way", God will bring her faster? I am so utterly transparent in my vices and as you may have noticed would love control over this specific area of my life! I pray that God helps me find complete joy this week! I am a work in progress.

Let's face it...life sucks sometimes!
I am indeed grateful that the Lord is for me and not against me. Days can be wearing, relationships draining, and without Christ, that joy would never be there.
I, too, pray for joy. I need to have it, to reflect it, to draw people closer to it...I'm a work of art in the making :D
Hang in there. Our God is good...all the time!
Hey Wendi... I just wanted to let you know I will be praying for your little girl who is on the way. You are a strong woman and I admire you for that. Love you.
Wendi... My heart aches at what it must be like to wait for your little girl. She is there... God has already picked her out for your family. To fit into it perfectly, to be the best little daughter and sister that the Kuhl family could ask for. She just might not be born yet... I will continue to pray for her, for life, for her transition into your family... and because I can only imagine how excited you must be to meet her someday... I will pray that it is soon!
