Waiting


Waiting is not always easy. We like to think that we are all under control and OK with whatever God brings along but the truth is in this instant generation , it is hard to wait.

Last year I was in the Bible Study Fellowship and we studied The Life of Moses. We watched the children of Israel and how they complained and were tired of waiting. They wanted to be in the Promised Land today. I remember setting on my bed one night and saying I'm sick of these children of Israel and all their complaining. You know what I could see the end for them, they couldn't. They were waiting.

Every day I understand a bit more of the waiting that comes with not knowing.

Right now we are waiting on a house. Waiting for the right house, at the right price , in the right neighborhood and I'm embarrassed to say it is not easy.

God continues to assure me in small ways that He has a plan , that He is in control and I wait.

While I wait....I love my family. Pray more. Read the word more. Listen for Him to speak. And I know that this is small in comparison to some who have lost their homes and have no chance of finding a home.Small in comparison to the children of Israel in the desert and wondering for 40 years.

While I wait.....I wait!!!!
