Anticipation....it's making me wait!

Philippians 4:6-7
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.                                               

Anticipation can turn to anxiousness if you let it....

Anticipating the end of the week and the kids will be back in school.

Anticipating the return to structure and routine to our home....hahahaha! One can dream too!

Anticipating all the freedom and quiet I will have when that big yellow bus peaks around the corner....still dreaming!

Anticipating September and we will be celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary...Yes 30....It is possible!

Anticipating October and my beautiful morning coffee bud will be returning home from her adventure of a lifetime living with her aunt and uncle. Any time with my sister is an adventure!

Anticipating October and our other beautiful daughter will be changing her last name.

Anticipating and praying my kitchen will one day be completed....10 weeks and counting! Jake from SF must be busy!

Anticipating how busy the Holcombe house will be over the next few months! What am I saying ...we are very busy year round!

So many thoughts of future adventures and milestones. Seasons of life changing, right along with the leaves. Oh to make time stand still or reverse itself, as I wait for answers to life's unanswered questions. Unfinished dreams or ignored moments that are forever gone! Only to impact tomorrow's anticipations!

These changes can only help me to take a deeper look at my past and see how my Father in Heaven has continued to mold me into the very image of His beloved. My future is in His hands!

All these anticipations, they pale in comparison to that grand moment of anticipation! That beautiful moment when my Father in Heaven says "Well done thy good and faithful servant!"
