Shaped


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.

Lately I have been wondering how so many changes have been for the good.
Like this gardener, God is shaping and molding me to conform to His image.
When we are stretched and feel like breaking we say "Don't you see God", "Why" and many other things that are much less spiritual.
He digs away the dead, the ideas that we think are so great, the preconceived ideas of how it should be and what would make since.
I am needing my sisters to pray for my family.
We are still in need of a home.
We have made three different offers on homes and each time there have
been HUGE road blocks.
The last one was today.
We made an offer on a house with two different sidings. The owner wanted to give us a portion, about a 1/10 to have it fixed so we said No.
We are tired, worn out, stressed out and in need.
The house we are staying in will no longer be available after May 10th.
That is 5 weeks away!!!
We serve a mighty God that cares and I know that He wants to meet all our needs.
Up to this point His answer has been NO!
We are ready for New Direction, Clarity and New Wisdom.
And we need a Resounding YES!
Pray that we will be a light in this difficult time,
that we will still stay focused,
that we will not turn on each other but we will grow closer.
Pray that the Mighty Hand of God will move in such a miraculous way that only He could orchestrate this for our girls.So awesome that they will never doubt His great love for us.
Blessings,
Debbie

Praying for you, Debbie. You will stand in awe of Him when this is all said and done, I'm sure. Praying you will be slathered in His peace, His grace and will know what He is wanting you to learn.

Many, many, many blessings, my friend~

Waiting can be so incredibly hard. Just keep holding on to His promises. He hears you, will work out the details and will not fail you!

Debbie,
I like the way you are acknowledging God's Power and Strength and crying out to Him for an outpowering of His Spirit. Will join you as you wait for His perfect timing!
