It has happened again

I am another year older, sigh. I am off work today and I have not assigned myself any chores. I am relaxing today. For breakfast I ate one of my birthday brownies. My goal for today is to watch all 5 seasons of Waiting for God a funny Brit com about living in a retirement community. I had seen most of the first 3 seasons on PBS years ago but the last 2 were never available here. Martin over on Two blokes wrote about dvd box sets of old tv shows and is there really a market. I hate to say it, yes there is! Now, would I buy theses dvds and watch them a thousand times probably not, but I am enjoying my viewing. There are shows I will watch over and over. I like having something on when I am working or doing chores. I like having something on that I do not need to pay full attention to know what is going on.

Plus there is nothing but rubbish on tv these days, not one USA produced show has captured my attention for several years now. Doctor Who is the only show that I have intentionally set out to watch this season. I would rather watch old episodes of As time goes by then the drivel on tv today.

I like to laugh and shows like As time goes by and Waiting for God make me laugh.

I do not plan to spend my entire birthday watching old shows. Tonight is small group night the boys will be here for our Mere Christianity study. We will be done with the book tonight. A happy depressing thought. I have enjoyed our weekly meetings and will miss them. The other half of our small group night is Watching Doctor Who. After we finish our book we will sit back and watch Midnight and if there is time Turn Left With any small group that involves teens I always serve some kind of snack. For tonight I picked up some ice cream and toppings. I invited another teen or two to join us so it should be a good time.

My plans to move are on hold. The post I thought I would be filling is no longer available. I am not really sure what happened. Being in another country makes it difficult to go knock on the door and ask for an explanation. I am not giving up just needing a new venture. I will go about it a bit differently this time. I am really disappointed, crushed really, that this fell through. I was ready to go, my plan was well set and in action. Promised support was nearly what I needed for the first trip. I guess it was more my plan then God's. I had thought what I was doing was God's plan and I don't think I heard my call wrong just the wrong place.

I have been enjoying reading my birthday wishes on Facebook and I think I will go now and answer them. A birthday prayer request for me, please pray that I see where God is leading me and find comfort in God as I face the disappointment of this one falling through.
