Where I am today is not where I expected I would be. Even a few years ago I thought by now I would have at least gone for it with the writing world. People had such faith in me and my talent. Now I don't even journal. While I don't regret my work change, it was definitely easier previously to write. I used to have long afternoons to sit in front of the computer and work on my writing. These days I get home in the evening and just don't want to put the time aside for it. I am squandering my gift. Fortunately though, it's not the only gift I have! Tonight while at Bible Study we talked briefly about time. Sometimes time seems to drag by and I can't get where I want to go fast enough. I love being reminded that the Israelites wandered in the desert for 40 years. I am thirty-five. That means if I were born at the beginning of the wandering, we'd still have 5 years left! Yet, I sit here looking at my life and wonder where the time has gone. Lord willing, I have so many years ahead of me. Perhaps now isn't my time to be published. Who knows how the Lord is going to use this time for the future. I choose to not find failure in the delay, but instead patience in the process and hope in the future.
