Coasting and waiting...

Our lives are typically filled with adventure, and I'd have it no other way, but these days it seems like everything is pointing to the future and I find myself waiting. Waiting for Heather's masters, waiting for the adoption, waiting for investments to mature, waiting for new business projects.

I was asked to contribute to another blog but I find myself with not much to say, a rare event. I find myself too busy to keep up with what I want to do leaving me with little time to ponder and not much to say.

I am typically a pretty lazy guy. I guess I should say, I am motivated to do what I understand and like to do but drag my feet with things that I don't really know how to do or really don't like to do. I like to daydream and spend unrushed time with my family but I am not finding much of that these days. I know it is for a season but that again brings me to "waiting".

I believe life should be lived strategically, with greater purposes and goals in view and lived toward them, but, at the same time, life must be lived and enjoyed along the way and I am finding myself apathetic toward the latter. I am in one of those times that you say, "I just want to be at the next step, I wish it were a year from now..." but this is very dangerous thinking because I loose this time in life. Lord give me the strength to continue faithfully working and waiting but also give me a love for the present.
