Four Months...

.....have passed since I last updated this thing. Good job, Charissa! ha ha. I promise you that I have every intention of blogging about the rest of my trip to Japan. It seems that I misplaced the CD with pictures of Mt. Fuji on it and then the holidays came and went and I still haven't found it! Thankfully, Kristi is sending me a new one, and then I will have no excuse. :)

Until then, I will leave you with this quote I read in Streams In the Desert this morning. It seems fitting for my life right now, and I'm sure for many of you as well.

"Thou hast made waiting beautiful; Thou hast made patience divine. Thou hast taught us that the Father's will may be received just because it is His will. Thou hast revealed to us that a soul may see nothing but sorrow in the cup and yet may refuse to let it go, convinced that the eye of the Father sees further than its own. "
