While I Was Waiting

It’s been a crazy busy weekend. I had a lovely time at the women’s breakfast… they turned out a good spread.  After breakfast, I had the pleasure of listening to a lady speak about the importance of using our memories for good.  Writing them down, using them, and applying our faith to them, so that God can use the life he has given us for something more.  Getting our inspiration can come from various sources because all our five senses can inspire our memories.  But while I was waiting lots of random thoughts popped up so… here you go.  🙂 

while I was waiting

while i was waiting
at weekend presentation
listening to lady talking
about the importance of memories
and writing them down,
with an open heart, using
our lives to reach into the
hearts and minds of those
who might listen to us.

while i was waiting,
full from the breakfast given,
at this women’s meeting,
i found my attention wandering,
wanting to finish the story
that a picture in a magazine,
a prompt to encourage memories,
inspired in me.

i wanted to finish this story,
to explore a girl who was
happy at a teams terrible loss,
and then I started to wonder,
while I was waiting,
about starting a blog
featuring short stories,
inspired by life, images,
words, and faith.

wondering if i could
pull that off.. but more,
while i was waiting,
realizing that I need
more fun in my life,
fishing with my man,
movies with the lad, a game
night or two, and wishing that
all my busyness of before
winter yardwork was all done.

Sometimes
while I am waiting
I realize that
I need to do …
just a bit more waiting.
