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&#8217;t have a problem knowing what I want. All the while I chafe at having to wait. I&#8217;m a slow learner. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Any ways, I came across this verse in my devotions this evening.

In so many more ways than just physical. I am so swift to forget that and become discontent because I don&#8217;t have what I want when I want it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>More like trying to be patient.
