Yes people, we are officially waiting for the court date count down. I will be marking my calendar with the big red X's until Nov. 30th. I have a court date for Yoseph!!! It has taken a little more than 15 months to get this assigned, but it is finally here. I had a friend text me that having to wait this long will only make it sweeter in the end. I think he may very well be correct.
I went to Seabrook Island for the weekend with my friend Heather. We both took Monday off so that we could spend all of Sunday on the island with her brother and his wife. It was such a beautiful weekend. I actually wanted to go for a couple of selfish reasons 1) I love the beach and was missing the sun and ocean 2) I was losing my focus on God and needed some serious down time to get back on track. The beach does that for me.
I don't know why, but something about the nature and water always brings me back to my Creator. It allows me to see how He lavishes His love on me to let me experience the buck in the marsh or the dolphin in the ocean. We had a near mishap with a buck this weekend that is a very funny story when told by me and not Heather. Needless to say...it was a time of reflection on what God is doing in my life.
I will have to say that I was giving myself a pity party this week. I was so disappointed when I didn't get a court date this week. I just knew it was going to happen. Again, not my timing, but His.
So as we are leaving the island, my phone rings and I do not recognize the number. I say out loud, "This might be Lisa P. calling me, so I am going to pick it up." (The music was loud and we had the windows down...this is usual protocol for entering and leaving the island) :0) So the music goes down and believe it or not, it was her! With alot of screaming and saying "Are you serious?!" she said those great words YOU HAVE A COURT DATE!!! I have been waiting to hear those words for a looooooooong time.
God is perfect.
