Waiting . . .

I think God is teaching me about waiting on His timing. Brian and I thought we would be settling into our new apartment in OKC, making it our home by now. We thought we would have already taken Casen to the park (several times), the library and probably to Target for a new toy or book. We believed we would have eaten a few meals with Amanda, Josh and Casen, maybe even took supper over after their long day at work. We had hoped to have begun our search for our new church home. We thought we would be taking a trip up to Kansas to see my family and would be receiving and giving some TLC.

But here we are, in Sierra Vista, in an almost empty house - still waiting for everything to be finalized so we can get a firm closing date. We tried to mess with the timing, even reserved the U-Haul, made calls to see how things were progressing and got to the point we actually had to take a card table and folding chairs out of the storage unit (see earlier post). And still we are waiting.

Yesterday, I was praying, asking God to hurry up and get the ball rolling - please. It dawned on me as I was finishing up by telling him that I was trusting this to him that I haven't been trusting it to Him! I was convicted. We have been trying to do this in our timing, not leaving it to Him and His timing!

Psalm 27:14, "Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord."

Jeremiah 29:11, "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

I am asking Him to write His words on my heart! Asking Him to let it be in His timing for He sees the whole picture!
