waiting now and always...

so i really want to write an exciting update for those of you that have been keeping up with this...but the reality is that nothing really has changed since the last post! except that my hair is a slightly darker brown and i can now make any drink your heart may desire at starbucks. i am enjoying work and making new friends...paying my dues and biding my time while i try to find an in to some music work...

but overall, life remains a waiting room...waiting on the Lord...living in expectation of Him to work His plans that are so high above mine!

i got a call from a friend tonight that graduated with me in may, and i was so encouraged and refreshed to hear of someone else experiencing all of the same challenges...waiting and trusting...she simply told me, "cara, just keep waiting on Him...He will work something so much bigger than you ever imagined." simple words, but so timely.

so what seems to be an uninteresting post - "waiting now and always..." - is in reality very exciting because i serve an amazing God who loves to surprise us and reveal Himself in ways larger than we can dream of. and i am living in expectation.
