His Purpose vs. my patience
I used to be the most impatient person. Then, I had children!
I had no choice! I had to learn patience with the kids!
But then, a few weeks ago, I encountered the big cloud of insecurity. With Ed’s job loss, I found my patience a little like my gas tank….on E.
I found myself this week vacillating between having faith and being a bit discouraged. It was soon after that I found this version of a favorite verse:
“We humans keep brainstorming options and plans, but God’s purpose prevails.” Proverbs 19:21 (The Message)
I have been clinging to this verse so much the past couple of days. You see, as much as I want to, I know that there is nothing I can do to speed up the process of my husband finding employment.
His 4th interview with the company went fine. What was really interesting was that there may be even another one! I’ll keep you updated.
Have you ever thought something was going to work out, and then it turned out different than you expected?
I don’t think we ever purposely want to limit God, but lately I see there have been times when I’m surprised at what miracles He puts in our path.
For those of you who have called or emailed me your encouragement means so much! I can honestly say that we have felt your prayers! There are things going on within our lives right now that are nothing short of miraculous! We see God’s provision for us everywhere.
My prayer this week is for resolution. We have some typical financial obligations and we are trusting God to meet those. Ed also has some other networking and potential employment follow up correspondence. Would you please keep praying? Keep believing that God will provide the right opportunity for him!
Thank you! Blessings!
