You just never know.........

Is this where I will be taking my next vacation?
It could be.
(if you don't recognize the city, it is Ho Chi Minh City, aka Saigon)

Tonight, I am grateful for the previous post...grateful for the times that God lets me in on things.

Because tonight, I am wondering what in the world is going on.

Just when I think things are going one way....
something changes.

Yesterday, I thought my son and his girlfriend were moving to Texas this month.

Today, he told me they are thinking of moving to Vietnam.
(for a year)

It's not a done deal...but...
(he's been offered a job)

you just never know.

Hanging on for dear life,
In other words, trusting....

Hi Liz! I loved catching up on your thoughts as of late. As for the unexpected development with your son, I believe you answered your own question with your last previous post. We always know God is up to something good, but sometimes it takes a long time to see what that was.

Love and Stillness As You Wait,

I Got A Feeling....

that this is gonna be a good, good year!!!!!! I have great expectations! And I don't make New Year's Resolutions, but I do like goals. And prayers. I know God will answer prayers, and there are a few that I look forward to seeing the answer to, hopefully in 2010. It would be great if love and peace and forgiveness would win out in a few broken relationships. I am still praying. And I am look forward to how my marriage will become more wonderful, as it does every year! My health should improve since I am training for a triathlon. I lost 23 pounds in 2009. I look forward to losing about 15 to 20 more. Completing the Caveman triathlon with a couple of my very good friends is a goal that I am excited to achieve! It is going to be fun to see what God is going to do because I said "yes" to Him and stepped up into Home Group leadership with my church. And my church.... I have to say I am amazed and thrilled to love my church! What a blessing after so many years of being a s

Gone

A fire burns behind me I run to keep ahead Those who I once cared for becoming cold and dead Red and black the flames grow high Smoke rises in the air The pain of my unworthiness Seems more than I can bear In front of me I see the sun I long to feel it's heat The iciness inside my heart has paralyzed my feet I see the moon, I see the stars They swirl and dance for me I see the hole, the big dark hole Where one star used to be

Random Acts of Poetry - Conversation Poetry

Having gathered sentences from several conversations all week long, I started two poems, and then Wednesday came. Along with Wednesday came a tornado to my north Texas neighborhood and even though many sirens have blared and many close calls have occurred, Wednesday was the first time my 15 year old daughter was present to see the real thing. Our evening was happening; I was preparing dinner, my husband mowing the lawn (we knew storms were coming) and my daughter and 22 year old son were assembling a new porch swing in the garage. I wrote a poem to reflect the remaining part of the evening. (just now posting it because the electricity just returned!) Sirens (a family conversion) There is a tornado warning Rotation is forming, see there Sirens are sounding, like a song. I'm going in! Mom, I am scared! Look! Look, there it is! That is it, it's so dark, there's a tail. Where is Dad? Come inside! The trees, will they break? They bend to the ground. I hope the power comes on
