I think waiting on God is one of my hardest stuggles in life. I'm reading a book called Quest for Love by Elizabeth Elliot and there's this one story in there about this man, who at the age of 21 had the desire to be married. He became a Christian a few years latter and stopped the whole dating process. He sought his pastor's advice and the pastor told him to wait on the Lord for a wife. One day, at the age of 32, this man started praying to the Lord, pouring out his heart to Him and telling Him that he really wanted a wife. So suddenly, a name popped into his head, who happend to be a young lady from his church. And she became his wife a year latter. But get this. She was 21 when they got married. So when her husband had the desire to be married when he was 21, she was in 4th grade. You see why it's so important to wait on God?
All this to say that, the Lord has blessed me again. Yesterday, my supervisor told me that it's okay for me to only work on fridays and saturdays. And today, the boss of the whole library offered me more hours at patrons services and a raise! God is so good to His Children!

Julie, interesting story. Seems to me it like it would motivate the men to wait on the Lord more than girls, but I guess not. Check out the picture on my xanga, if u haven't. God bless
