To err. is human, to wait...devine..!!

At church we have been studying the 10 commandments. I have broken almost every one and some, many, many times! I am the first to admit I am totally human! Which explains some behaviors I exhibit, but never excuses them!!

I have recently found that I really hate to wait and/or have to re-do something I put time and effort into! Who doesn't? Probably Jesus! He loves that kind of stuff, of course He's already been to the future...He known how it ends! But I DON"T! WAAAAA! ( I am such a cry baby)!

I have sent my nursing application, completed 3 times and just got it back AGAIN for having something submitted incorrectly!! Help! I can't call Australia every day or my nurse recruiter in London, England every time something is amiss! I don't even know what's wrong with it! I feel like hitting a rock, or throwing some tablets of stone down and breaking them! Ever have days like that??

Until I can get this settled, I am in a holding pattern....flying over the desert, the smelly, hot, dusty desert!

Thank God, I'm only human!!

Moses... put down that pen!

You know, Moses didn't write about stuff til after they happened. So much has happened since I last posted. Several hospitals are in the process of setting up phone interviews with me. My application was completed, (again) but this time with a trip to L.A. to the Australian Consulate. It took 31/2 hours there and more back (traffic) but I went with a dear friend and caught up on everything new under the sun! Well spent time!! The actual time in the embassy was about 15 minutes. Isn't that so the way it goes!!

I bring up Moses, because we are so much alike him and I! We both enjoy wearing sandals. We both are addicted to bread, (that was all he ate, the carb. monster)! And we both head out under God's direction, with very little support, belief in what we're doing, especially from our family. Now Aaron and Miriam tried, but when it got tough they whined alot and followed the crowd! I love my friends and family, as I know Moses did, but sometimes I'd like to break a few stone tablet over their heads!!

I feel very alone at times! It'd be great to have Moses appear to me on a mount of transfiguration! (Could I transfigure to a size six please?) What would he say to encourage me? Probably something like, "C-C-Cassie, God loves all these people on this journey with you, so b-b-be patient with them all! And stay away from the desert path, it takes alot longer!!"

I hope you all know ,as God definitely does, that I am NO Moses! But I appreciate knowing there is such a great cloud of witnesses that have gone before and wrote to tell about it!How truly blessed we are to have the Word of God as our pillar of fire by night!! No matter how dark! Some day I hope my blog may help someone else on a journey somewhere... at least to let them know they are not alone!!
