I'm in Iowa today visiting my Grandpa who turned 95 last month. He woke up this morning in the same room where he was born.
Every summer, we would drive up to Iowa and spend a week on the farm - feeding the pigs and any calves that needed a bottle, riding the tractor and the 4-wheeler, collecting fresh eggs, and eating sweet Iowa summer corn.
There are no longer any animals to tend to other than the barn cats that keep the mice at bay, but we still get to enjoy fishing on the pond. We plan to fish during this visit, but I don't know that Grandpa will make it out to the pond to observe in leisurely fashion like he did in this picture several years ago.
Don't worry, Grandpa. If we catch any fish, we'll certainly share them with you!

Do you ever wish you could wake up to a different life? One in which you were free of pain? Or your children were all walking in the truth? A day in which your boss didn't yell at you? Or you actually got ahead on all of your assignments? How about the dream job, house, family, and vacation?
Yesterday, I mentioned the verse in Psalm 37:4, "Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart."
Instead of waking up to a different life on this Wake-up Wednesday, I invite you to wake up to a new perspective. The more I delight myself in the Lord, the more I trust him to transform the desires of my heart to align with the desires of his heart.
Lord, I trust you. I often wish my circumstances were different or that my life matched more of what I had once dreamed. But the greater desire of my heart is to be a delight to you as your daughter - to delight in what brings you delight and to be transformed in the desires of my heart. Thank you for your patience with me in that process of transformation. In Jesus' name, Amen.
