Love is waiting

I think this may possibly be the most romantic song ever. It just sounds so real. So true. This is true love, I think. But I wouldn't really know. Because I've never been "in love". =) But one sweet day I shall be.
This song helps me so much to wait and be patient. "I'll give it time, give it space and be still for a spell, When it's time to walk that way we wanna walk it well...and like I can't force the sun to rise or hasten summer's start, neither should I rush my way into your heart." =)
I love this song!

"Love Is Waiting"

In the autumn on the ground,
between the traffic and the ordinary sounds
I am thinking signs and seasons while a north wind blows through
I watch as lovers pass me by
Walking stories - whos and hows and whys
Musing lazily on love
Pondering you
I'll give it time, give it space and be still for a spell
When it's time to walk that way we wanna walk it well

[CHORUS:]
I'll be waiting for you baby
I'll be holding back the darkest night
Love is waiting til we're ready, til it's right
Love is waiting

It's my caution not the cold
there's no other hand that i would rather hold
the climate changes, I'm singing for the strangers about you
don't keep time, slow the pace
Honey hold on if you can
the bets are getting surer now that you're my man

[CHORUS]
I'll be waiting for you baby
I'll be holding back the darkest night
Love is waiting till we're ready, till it's right
Love is waiting


[BRIDGE:]
I could write a million songs about the way you say my name
I could live a lifetime with you and then do it all again
and like I can't force the sun to rise or hasten summer's start,
neither should I rush my way into your heart

Today

Mom and Sarah left early this morning to drive Grandma Sparks down to Florida for the winter. They'll be home on Thursday. So I'll be playing "mom" at our house this week. =)

This morning I got up at a reasonable hour (7:30ish) to get ready for the day. I put dinner in the crock pot for the kids at home, and left for work with Jedi at 10. I vacuumed the house(Liv helped me=). I did laundry. Matched socks. Filled, ran, emptied and refilled the dishwasher. Played UNO with Mary while watching 102 Dalmatians. (Side note: I cannot stand lovey-dovey dog movies where the animals are more valued that humans. Drives me crazy!)

I laughed as I watched the VERY dramatic O'Quinn kids use their imaginations with Jedi. They played this one game for about two hours. Jedi and Olivia had to protect Mary, the princes, from the bad guy Wesley. They were so cute!

I smiled watching how tender my youngest brother, Jedi was with Mary, the 3 year old. Jedi isn't your average 7 year old. He is BIG for his age. He looks like a 9 or 10 year old. He is strong, but was so gentle with Mary. She simply adored Jedi and he loved playing with her.

I chased the kitten out of the Christmas tree...TWICE. Once with a broom, second time with my bare hands (hard core, right? ;-) After that I sat by the Christmas tree and read of the faithfulness of God in my life. I do love having a journal. It's a good way to get my thoughts out of my head.

And I sang Christmas songs and drank egg nog with Jedi on our way home. We didn't get home till 9:30! It was a long day. But a very good one.

Thank you, Lord.
