Outside my window it is grey and damp. We have had some Spring showers this week, so all week long I’ve been saying to myself, “April showers bring May flowers, April showers bring May flowers.”

I am thinking about…

• baking shortbread
• how much I love New England. It has a temperament that suits me in every way—sometimes it’s a blast of energy, and sometimes it’s in no rush at all.
• the things I need to get done and should be doing, instead of rambling on my blog.

I am thankful for a meeting last night with an angel of girl, going through hell on earth. We have only been able to text for weeks, but last night we got to meet face-to-face. I am just so glad I got to give her hug and pray for her in person.

I am reading QAnon’s posts and gluten-free shortbread recipes. That’s about it so far today. LOL

I am working on my Christmas card list. That is my ultimate goal for 2018. I know that if I get my Christmas cards in the mail, it will mean I’ve done everything else that is on the list to do before them. However, if I don’t set that before me right now, it’s not going to happen. So, yes, I am working on my Christmas card list.

I am hoping for everything! Hope is a great blessing, and with God we have good reason to be hopeful.

I am praying for everything! There are a lot of people in a lot of trouble right now. Two beloved brothers are on the verge of absolutely killing themselves. One family on the verge of total destruction at the hands of the state. People willfully immersed in sin, trying to find their way back to faith, yet refusing to surrender. Heartbroken and hurting people. There are needs within my family, spiritual and physical. Loved ones who are lost in the world, without any faith in the love of God for them. I am praying for little things, too, like inspiration for this spare room—how to make it a prayer room, play room, music room, meeting room, craft room, guest room, and office room all at once. There are lots of things to pray for, and I am determined to pray for it all, because GOD CAN!

I am meditating on the Lord’s timing. In His time, all things are good, and that’s what I want. I make my plans and set my goals; I want a lot of things to happen. However, I only want what He wants, and in His time. I’m willing to wait.
