Wondering about my Wanderings

Crash

I am usually good at keeping up with my writing goals and such and then without warning the computer I use crashed. It was quite unsettling. All of a sudden I was at the mercy of a dumb machine that is only as dumb as it's creators and users. I hope to begin to get on track, but it will take a while.

I celebrate that in the midst of the crash good things can happen. My daughter graduated Sunday, my son and his wife welcomed Naomi into the world at 12;30PM and I survived a weekend of work with little sleep due to the fact all those other celebrations happended. I am decided that I am God's instrument of mercy. It is a difficult tension to sort through. In Hosea 6:6 it talks about God wanting mercy and not sacrifice. I am deciding to be thankful that I am a survivor and I can be there for my children and my work.

On another positive not I was praised by a person I give care to. It was totally unexpected. They told me to thank my mother for creating such a caring, respectful person. It kind of blew me away. I am real sure God has a purpose in it all. I hope I can be patient enough to see God's work come to completion.
