We are waiting. Waiting on the Lord. It is not fun to wait. I am an impatient person. Ok really I don't mind waiting I just want to know how long I will have to wait. If I have an appointment at a certain I expect to be seen at that time. I KNOW!!!! I get antsy when I have to wait without knowing how long I'll be. If anyone knows me well they know that I always have a book or a magazine with me when I have to go places where I might have to wait. I can't just look at walls, even thinking about gives me the hives lol.
We are waiting on DHS. Someone has misplaced my fingerprints. I have been told not to worry about. Might as well tell me not to breathe. I have found though that when I am worrying about that God know exactly where those prints are and they will be found in just the right time. I know that the Lord hasn't brought me this far to leave me here. When I start worrying I turn it over to the Lord and tell Him that I know He is in control and I trust Him. I have been praying that quit a lot the week or. I know that the Lord's timing is perfect. I can look back on my life and see where the Lord has worked in my life. So I am waiting.
We are also waiting on a Realtor/bank/USDA. We have an offer on Steve's dad's house. The couple has qualified for a loan but they have to explain some stuff to the USDA who is underwriting the loan. I think we are both at the point that we are ready to give the house to the next person who looks at it.
We are waiting on some money from an oil and gas company to come through. That could be up to 60 days. That is TWO months!!!! Don't these people know I am impatient? Don't they know that I have plans for that?
My husband keeps telling me that God is trying to teach me a lesson but for the life of me I don't know what he is talking about. I know that in the last two weeks I have had to learn to wait. I have had to learn to trust in the Lord. I have had to learn that God has everything in control and I don't need to worry about a thing.
So I have been praying for the kids that we will have in our home. I have prayed for the couple that is looking at the house that it will be a home for them. And I have thanked the Lord for the unexpected windfall that is coming our way.
When I was in college my sweet sister-in-law wrote me a letter that had an amazing Bible verse in it that encouraged me then and is still an encouragement to me. (Much like my sister-in-law) Can you guess what it is?
Isaiah 40:31
31Yet those who wait for the LORD
Will gain new strength;
They will mount up with wings like eagles,
They will run and not get tired,
They will walk and not become weary
