I'm glad that you've found my new site! It is with renewed focus that I start this new blog. Am I still awaiting EmmeKate? Yes and No.
I must confess, I'm tired. Tired of "awaiting". I've always wanted what God wants for me. But I think I have been farsighted. I've been deficient in seeing what is so near.
God's Word, God's nudgings have a way of acting as a corrective lens.
My eyes are tired from squinting to see what is ahead. Instead, I can choose to look at what I can read so easily in front of me.
Only God's vision is 20/20. My sight is skewed by imperfections. But if I rely on Him to bring things into focus, I won't have to strain so hard to see!
Putting on a new pair of glasses is great but sometimes vanity takes a hit. I remember how I felt in second grade when I got my first pair. I remember a boy in my class telling me I looked like a teacher. That was insulting to a 7 year old!
Just as that boy felt compelled to share his opinion about my new spectacles, people can feel compelled to share their assessment of my "predicament".
Some may say I never should have started this journey or at least should have given up long ago.
That's not what a girl with new "glasses" needs to hear.
So, here I go, continuing on my journey. I'm not sure what's up ahead. But I'll walk with confidence knowing I can at least see where to place my next step. And I'll choose to find God's best for me each day instead of looking at tomorrow.

Yay! I'm the first to comment on your new blog site. Very cute by the way. And I absolutely LOVE what your wrote in your profile "about me" section. Awesome. I am anxious to see what God has for you sis. All I know is that it's something really good!!!
Thanks. I'm not used to too many comments so you could be the first AND the last! Thanks for your encouragement though! Everybody needs that!
Well - If no one else leaves you a comment - atleast we can talk back and forth on here!!! :-)
Looks like that's what we're doing right now!
Yes - It certainly does!
Hey - when is your next column for the paper? Could you please keep me updated on your achievements here? I'm quite proud of you!! :-)
Thank you little sister! I think my next column is due Dec. 1 and should publish Dec. 20. I need to get on it!
Ok. This is quite fun commenting back and forth. People are going to read your blog and be like "wow! She's got like 10 comments on this one post. Must be a good one! OR - 2 sisters yacking back and forth!!" Looking forward to hearing your next column. Get on the stick!
You guys are funny! I love your new blog site. I'm sorry for commenting soooo late. First of all, you know that where ever the Lord directs you, I will be there no matter what. I have absolutely LOVED this "journey".I know that I am not living it every day but when I think of those precious little brown eyes looking into her mothers eyes for the first time, that is what keeps me going! I CAN'T wait for her brothers to hold her and for her father to kiss her soft cheek and say I LOVE YOU SOOOOOO MUCH. Second of all, to those who have thought that this journey should have never started, well, let me just say this. You are NOT nice. (i will not say what i really want to say)We as friends, family and loved ones need to support the Oylers by being ENCOURAGING, LOVING and just saying I LOVE YOU when the time is just not going fast enough. Anyway, Kim you know that I love you very much and can't wait for little LadyBug to arrive!!!! I love you EmmeKate Michelle Oyler!!!
Mindy- You go girl! I know you've got my back and I am forever grateful! Thanks for going on this loooooong journey with me! You're the best!
Ok I want to be in the club too, where we talk back and forth to each other. Keep these blogs coming! Now that I have internet at my fingers! HA HA
Internet is a wonderful thing! Next thing ya know, you might even get a facebook account!
Ok - Now I am going to leave another comment.....just because! :-) Thanks Mindy for joining in our fun!
