More like trying to be patient. I am learning again, how to trust God and His provision. We still do not have a house. Our land lady is selling our duplex, so we may have to move soon regardless of whether or not we have a house. I have a couple of possible job opportunities but I am at a loss as to what I would like. This is odd to me. Normally I don’t have a problem knowing what I want. All the while I chafe at having to wait. I’m a slow learner.
In spite of all that life is going well. God is good and we are well taken care of. My favorite mother-in-law Brenda was up for a week and it was good to see her. Ashley is getting ready for a couple of shows and is busy making ornaments. I got a really cool Windows 98 virtual machine (with hardware video and sound pass through) working. My brother and his wife had their first baby! That was cool.
Any ways, I came across this verse in my devotions this evening. Given my impatience and the lottery craze (I admit I’ve been tempted to buy a ticket) that is going on it was very appropriate.
Hebrews 13:5 Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.”
God is taking care of Ashley and I. In so many more ways than just physical. I am so swift to forget that and become discontent because I don’t have what I want when I want it.
God is good all the time. Waiting on Him is a good thing. When He does move you, you will be amazed.
Thank you for the reminder/encouragement.
