After several days away with family, I return to wonder, did I dream it? It would be so easy to convince myself that I must have been mistaken, that it was wishful thinking.
But I have promises written on my window, on scraps of paper, and in my heart. His timing is perfect. And right now, we are waiting. Waiting for word of what to do next. Realizing that in this wait He is refining us, readying us. Using a speaker at a professional conference to show my dear husband what steps he is to take next ~ not from Bible study or a sermon, like I might have expected. God is bigger than the boxes we try to fit him into.
In the waiting, we find strength. And I must remind myself that we may not be the only ones waiting. Abigail, if you're out there somewhere . . . be strong and take heart, and wait for the Lord.
While I'm waiting...I will serve you while I'm waiting.---Makes me think of that song from Fireproof.
ReplyDeleteContinual prayers going up for you. Thanks for posting. I don't believe it was a dream!!
Oh, the waiting. . .
ReplyDeleteI love that Misti has been such a prayer warrior along our journeys and is taking up the prayer covering again!!
Love that song, more so now. It's such a good reminder that sometimes the waiting isn't about us. Thank you for the prayer covering! Someday we'll look back with thanksgiving and say, "Remember when it all began?"
