I’m smiling as I read about your travels. What fun, and how inspirational.

Midlife is a great time to consider strenghts and weaknesses. It’s like we’re given a second chance. It’s a perfect time to reflect, truly know who we are and what makes us tick. Thanks for the gentle reminder.

Today I’m in Germany. I was in Vienna, Austria the past two days, and Wednesday is home. Budapest was BEAUTIFUL, and I learned so much. God is stretching this single-minded girl of his. : )

Love each of you,

Suzie

I read this yesterday and have been thinking lots about “Choose one chair”… I’m at that crossroad in my life where I need to make a decision about the direction my life is going… needs to go… God wants it to go…
Not sure what to decide or if my life will be a combination of different things working together or choosing one thing and pursuing it with purpose.
Lots of questions…. and a little concern that I don’t make the wrong choice.
Think, think, think.

Don’t you sometimes wish you could open up that “book” that God wrote all His plans for your life in…. and take a peek at where you should be years from now so you’ll know what to do? It crosses my mind…. but then where’s the fun in that? Afterall life is a journey…. I just wish I knew which direction I was going…

Back to that crossroad, and the one chair…..

Thanks, Suze, for this message. How I can relate! I’ve been horribly dyslexic with A.D.D. for years…my letters and numbers are forever switched around and if I don’t stay in a quiet cocoon shell when working I can’t get a thing accomplished. Sure, I can multi-task well and I do get a great deal accomplished every day, I just need lots of lists, quiet, and attention to detail. Long story short, I’ve learned over the years my strengths and weaknesses. But mostly, I’ve learned not to beat myself up and compare myself with others who are more gifted in areas where I am utterly incompetent. Because God loves me no matter what! You stay safe and next time can I valet your luggage for you? I’d gladly travel alongside! Love you!

Hi Suzie,
I hope all is going well on your tour - wow that sounds like such a beautiful and meaningful trip. God has been preparing you for this. It’s great to see one more example of how God will use even our greatest weakness as a strength when we are open to His teaching. It gives me hope as I begin a new leg of this journey called “life”. With Jesus leading the way, it’s bound to be yet another amazing adventure!
From one Suz to another,
“Susie”

Traveling mercies to you my sweet sister (we have more in common than you might think!).

My family caught on–finally–after 52 years! They just say, “STOP!” And in doing so, I’m re-focused. You’re right, Suz, we are disciplined (I set the timer), and I remember what my mom always told me even while studying for anatomy, physiology and biology finals the next day when I was a sophomore in college: “Connie, remember, you can only concentrate on one thing at a time!”

It worked out pretty cool during labor too (3 hours each!). “Just keep breathing!” Yep. It works!

Hugs,

Connie

P.S. I use the same system for speaking–just different colors! Smile!
