Here I am just outside of Seattle. I am staying in a little town called North Bend. (for some reason, I keep thinking about South Bend Indiana...) I have been here since Wednesday night, and I am loving it. I am about 35 min outside the city, and it is amazingly gorgeous out here. There is a river that runs right behind the house where I am staying. All I have to do is go out about 50' and there it is! It is gorgeous and I can hear it all day long.

On Sunday, I visited The Pathways church in Mill Creek. The pastor at that church went to Central Christian Church in Mesa, Arizona at the same time I did. I found out that one of the people who also goes there (John Chandler and family) are moving to Austin in the next month. From that, I have had a flurry of new (old) friends on Facebook. Several of them I have not spoken to in several years. Most of these are people I met about 10 or 11 years ago. We were all in the college group together. I found out that almost all of them are married now with kids.

I know that God has a plan and timing for my life. I just feel so left behind. I am going to be 35 this year. When my parents were this age, I was turning 11! It is now getting to that time when being pregnant is more risky for me. I am concerned about this. I know that God has been working on me...and I am getting caught in the trap of comparing my life to that of others. I need to ask God to help me stay focussed on the things He wants me to learn.

So, a few tears have fallen, but I know that it is going to be great the wayGod has it for me.
