You know that little "beatific" smile that some people have, especially those who feel close to God? Well, it seems to be showing up on my face more often these days. Scary thought, huh?

Perhaps it is because, lately, God is showing me things almost every time I turn around. I had already noticed, starting somewhere around Easter (my favorite day anyway), that my spirits have been rising steadily, even while being sick and unemployed.

Perhaps it is because my prayers to serve God have been answered - in a way I didn't expect. And yet I should have expected it. Twice He gave me glimpses of what I was to do, but so much time passed that I had given up. "O, ye of little faith!" And now He is giving me details a bit at a time, reminding me that I am not the Project Manager this time. And yet just a few months ago I don't think I could have done this. Part of today's sermon was on waiting for the Lord; boy could I do a sermon on that!

So, if you see that silly little smile on my face, it's not because I know something you don't. It's because I'm happy to wait for the answers.
