Time just doesn't stand still

I was writing a check today (those are the things we used to pay bills with, but now we just click a button on the computer :D) when I realized it is already the middle of June. What happened to the middle of May? They say time flies when you're having fun and my life is definitely fun. But still, where did it go? When people asked when we are leaving, I used to say probably the end of summer, but now I say probably fall. I guess I don't really know when we are leaving. But I look back and realize we thought it would be more like June at one point and I'm not sure if I would have been ready then. Oh well, God knows any way. And when the time does come, I'll be as ready as God has prepared me to be and He'll go with me so it wouldn't matter whether I'm ready or not. His timing is not my timing anyway.

Graduation and ordination parties in hand, I have a very busy week ahead. The invitations are out the decorations are purchased and the menu is planned. I have helpers set up and a house to clean. I love a great party and again, this is one more way God is preparing me for the duties I will take on once we leave here. I look forward to hosting parties for those in the military and although my hospitality side hasn't always been clear, the excitement of doing just that is there. My dear side kick, Faith, is my alter ego. She loves to plan, decorate and host any kind of social event. Together, we make a great team. Until then, I'll have to keep listening to her tell me how to get her dad's party together. And yes, I'll take lots of pictures this week.

Still, time is flying by. Next it will be July and on and on and on. We can't stop time from going by but we can take everything in stride. When I think that I can't go any faster, I just hang on to God's hand tighter. I know He's taking me somewhere and as long as I trust in Him, I know it will be ok. He's got my best interest at heart.
