All in the Lord's timing

5 Signs Waiting Has Weakened Your Faith


I've posted a link that I found convicting and encouraging during this time of waiting. I admit I have not handled this trial nearly as well as I would like, but at least its been a time of learning.

If I focus on my performance I find it discouraging, for it seems that every time I have to face a trial I don't handle it the way I think I should. But this is just one more reason to be focused on the Lord and not myself!

Well, here is the big news! Shawn has a full-time job! It's here in Mt. Lake, which is surprising. I find myself wondering if this is really for real, or if it will really work out, or if Shawn will like it, or if I should still be feeling doubtful...

but no, I have come to the conclusion that if the Lord gives me work to do each day, if he provides for any of my needs, that those are blessings , and I have been given opportunity to serve the Lord and to look for His glory. And so, the Lord has given Shawn a job at a local farm/tiling/construction type place. For those of you who know this area, he is now employed at the place across the road from Grandma's house.

 We are very curious to see how this job goes. There's a possiblity for Shawn to do some things that are interesting to him, so if that happens, that would be neat :). He starts on Monday and at first, will be doing a number of different things.

The other thing that MAY be happening is...  we are looking at the possiblity of moving out of my parents house and into our own home!! I won't share details, since it's possible that this won't work out yet. Our house in AL hasn't sold yet, which seems like a hopeless case, since it seems that we owe more on it than it's worth. But we are at the mercy of the Lords will, as we always are. It's just more obvious to us now. We are excited about the possiblity of moving out, especially since we didn't think that would be a possiblity until our other house sold. So we shall see...

So we are praising the Lord that he has given Shawn a job, that He has been so kind to us, by providing for us! We are still in waiting mode, but I'm starting to think that my whole life could be a waiting game. Waiting for such and such to happen, and then when that happens, waiting for the next thing to happen. Instead,  life is a sweet opportunity to seek the Lords glory and revel in His greatness!

You make known to me the path of life, in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.  Psalm16:11
