I trust in God’s unfailing love
for ever and ever.

Psalm 52:8-9

...for taking risks and saying yes...instead of being afraid of failure...
...for taking risks and saying yes...instead of being afraid of failure...
...and a husband that encourages me to take the risks...
...for a friend that continues to encourage and provide me with opportunities to practice and hone my photography skills...
...my husband that took all 4 of the boys to the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum while I was taking pictures and we had two showings at our house...

...hearing this on the radio as I contemplate waiting...so thankful for the Lords gentle leading...
"waiting is fundamentally wrapped up with knowing,
trusting, and believing in the Lord and His person (His character) and
in His promises...
The ability to wait on the Lord stems from being confident and focused on who God is and in what God is doing.
It means confidence in God’s person: confidence in His wisdom, love,
timing, understanding of our situation and that of the world. It means
knowing and trusting in God’s principles, promises, purposes, and power."

Oh I was enthralled with your week - and exhausted too. :)
I love the husband who encourages you to take risks. Mine too - (publishing my first children's book)
and I love the sky - reddish pink. Just beautiful.
Thanks for sharing your gifts,
Blessings,
Janis
