Why You Should Be Waiting a Little Every Day

-
According to dictionary.com, waiting means "a period of waiting; pause, interval, or delay." 

I don't know about you but the word that stands out to me in the definition is DELAY. When my son was in school, the school might call a two-hour delay due to weather. If there is an accident on the freeway that impacts traffic, you might be delayed getting to work or an appointment. 

In the book Unshakeable Trust by Joyce Meyer, where there are two chapters that were related to God's waiting room. In the part 1 chapter, Joyce mentions that God rarely seems to be in a hurry about anything while we are in a hurry about everything (page 139). That is so true. I'm at a crossroads in life and I am trying to trust God's plan for me. However, he's not told me what that plan is yet or when it is going to happen! As a project manager by trade, I am a task master so I want an exact due date for God's plan. God loves me and cares about me but that doesn't mean he's going to rush his plans for me. 

For years, I watched and read about Crossfit but I never took any action until 2021 after my son Jon III graduated high school. Apparently God though it was time for me to pursue my goal of doing Crossfit. Not only am I doing Crossfit but I am surrounded by a community of supportive people. Whether you want to do Crossfit, strength training, or weightlifting, I encourage you to consider Steadfast Performance training and Crossfit Plain City

The Proverbs 31 Woman: A Model of Strength, Virtue, and Value

-

Proverbs 31 speaks to women across generations. Its verses portray a powerful image of a woman who embodies strength, virtue, and worth. These traits are not just ancient ideals; they resonate deeply in today’s world, where women strive for excellence in various aspects of life. Proverbs 31:10-11 reads: "A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies. Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value." This passage is part of a broader section that extols the qualities of a virtuous woman. It provides profound insights not just for women, but for everyone seeking to understand true character and value. I have tried to live a life like that of a Proverbs 31 woman.  Have I always been successful?  No, especially during my period of active alcoholism where no one could depend on me. Sobriety has allowed me to be more dependable and reliable.  The COVID Pandemic allowed many, but not all, to work remotely.  For roughly two year...

Getting to Know Me: The Story Behind This Blog

I call this Santini Serenity as Serenity is always my goal. However, Serenity is not always easy.    I find myself at a crossroads in life. I've been with The Ohio State University for almost 30 years but I have to work roughly 8.5 more years before I can retire. My job is currently hybrid where I work at home 3 days and go into the office for 2 days. I keep my office time brief when I do go in. My husband's job might require him to travel more in addition to all of his scout related trips. It's hard to manage a household when you're not home so I've been looking for exclusively remote jobs. Patience is a virtue. I'm naturally impatient which is great for managing projects because the project generally stays on track. However, God is the ultimate project manager with his own timelines and I struggle not knowing what his will is for me in my life. As part of my goal to work remotely and retire, I began doing surveys in my spare time.  Thank you for stoppin...

There is a better way.  A more peaceful way. “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. Not as the world gives do I give to you.
