Still waiting. . .and feeling kind of blah about it. All of us are really. But then the wisdom of our nine-year-old snaps me back to reality. After apologizing for snapping at her over something insignificant, I tried to explain that I'm just irritated with the whole house thing. With wide eyes, she shrugged her shoulders saying, "We're fine if we stay. We're fine if we go. God's plan, not ours." And then she ran off.
A good friend, text me this reminder on Wednesday, with Romans 8:
28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. I know this truth but what a sweet reminder it served as another long day passed by with no clear answer. Today I had to force myself out of the house for awhile with the kids, a Seeds CD
was playing in the car and wouldn't you know track 9 just happened to be the above mentioned passage. Coincidence? No, God. Then as I sat in the left turn lane to enter the freeway. . .the one that runs right behind the new house--I saw this:
And I chuckled as I pointed it out to the kids, thinking--ain't that the truth? There are plenty of lessons in this whole wait and see process. Ultimately I have to keep in the front of my mind that God's plan for our family is what it is--and whether or not we get the house, we are still going to be fine. With God by our side, we will actually be even better than fine. And that's good enough for me.
I'm in the same exact waiting pattern sister. Let's pray for one another, and vow to be still and wait on the Lord!!!
