<b>Often the very thing you need most is the thing you can’t seem to make happen.</b>

That's me right now. I have many satisfying things in my life, but each one argues against the other in some way. I love my work, I love my husband, I love my children (one of whom still lives at home), but his work takes him away, we can't locate in a place where we will both live year-round because of the child and a custody arrangement, and I won't leave her, even though she makes me a little crazy at times. And our geographic ties leave me with very limited vocational opportunities. I've been doing interim ministry, and I hope doing it well, but I dearly miss being in a community and building deeper relationships. I love ministry, marriage and motherhood, but I am frustrated by short-term ministry and long-distance marriage. 

None of which is going to help *you* with your love list!
