Waiting

A lot has happened since we decided to move to Fishers!  We have been working on the house...trying to get it ready to put on the market...And on the other hand, not enough has happened!  We're ready!  We just want to go!!  But that's not always how God works...God sometimes says, "Wait!"  We have no doubt that we are doing what God wants by going to Fishers, but, at times, we get frustrated when things don't progress like we think they should.  We were experiencing that this week.  Tim heard that he didn't get the job that we both thought was a "sure thing".  We both know that God has an even better job for Tim, but in the moment we were both feeling a little down.  Tim had just left for work, and I was praying...sitting in front of our picture window.  I was asking God what he is going to do...In my mind...it's time for Tim to get a job!  It's time we sold our house so we can get to Fishers!!  I looked out the window, and I saw a robin in the yard.  The little robin reached down, and pulled a worm out of the ground.  I started crying!  Matthew 6:26 says

Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?  God's in control! 

 

We still don't have our house listed.  We are waiting for a weekend with no rain to replace the roof!  But we aren't worried!  It will all be according to God's schedule, not ours!  We are learning to wait.  God has been bringing the song "While I Wait" into by head this week...

"I will move ahead bold and confident, Taking every step in obedience.  While I'm waiting, I will serve you.  While I'm waiting, I will worship.  While I'm waiting, I will not faint.  I'll be running the race, even while I wait." -John Waller

 

Keep praying for us and the whole Fishers team.  Several families are already there, and are beginning to meet together.  If you know me, it's KILLING me to be here when they are getting together there!  But we'll be there soon cuz God has a plan and we are following him in obedience!!
