First Devotional

Hello Dear Reader,

Lee and I have started our first devotional as a married couple. We went through several devotionals prior to gettin' hitched, but we took a break since we haven't "had time." Consequently we started Your Time-Starved Marriage. The irony is, naturally, that we did not feel quite so time-starved as soon as we began the devotional. I think it is a quality book, it has already hit upon an unrecognized problem of mine. I have a tendency to think "we'll go out and do more after the house is rented (still a "no" for those of you playing the home game)," or "...after med school" or "after my residency." We are both planners (it's true whether Lee believes it or not) and consequently we have to push ourselves a little more to live in the moment.

In the current moment, I feel that I am in a vacuous waiting game. Waiting to hear about the house, waiting to hear about med school interviews and an acceptance, etc. I am usually very patient.
