The verse that really spoke to me was
verse 21: Many are the plans in a man's heart but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails.
This has really spoken to me because this week we found out that the house we wanted didn't appraise for what the guy wanted and he doesn't want to lower his asking price.
So...we are back to looking at houses.
I have been very sad.
I was planning, preparing and getting ready for the move.
Now we are back to square one.
We have been here for 2 months and were really hoping to be in a house by now but God had other plans.
Part of me is angry, part of me is sad but overall I am starting to accept that My Plans may not be His plans. He has a better plan and I need to accept it.
I am still dreaming , still planning and getting ready to move.
I know that we are going to find a house.
I know that His Plans are not mine.
He has a better plan!

I continue to pray for you as you wait, knowing that God is working out all of the details for your new home. Details are just one of His specialties!!! His timing is perfect, but that is so easy to lose sight of when we want something so badly. Blessings to you....Janis
Oh, so tough. It's so tough to not be anxious. This very morning, I was telling the Lord that His Word instructs me not to be anxious. And yet....I am struggling not to be. I had to start at square one and ask Him to help me not to be anxious, so I can be faithful to His Word.
I'm so sorry things are difficult right now. I pray that God's grace covers you from head to toe...and that you can rest in His provision and timing. It's so hard, I know.
Many wonderful sweet things are headed your way! God loves you so much.
Have a sweet day in the Lord, Debbie!
