There is nothing like having God's peace...even when things can be or seem unstable. One thing I've learned is this...nothing catches God by surprise. Trusting in him can often times be the hardest, because we are used to making it happen. This applies to so many different situations in life. Along with trusting God, comes patience. This is what I often have the most difficult time with...
I have faith in God and what he is doing...but it is hard for me to wait on Him to actually do it.
This is where history comes in. Every good thing that has happened in my life has required patience of some sorts. You have the fuddy-dudd guys from my past...only for me to let God bring me to Memphis, and a few years into my Memphis stay meet a guy that would become a loving husband and great father of my kids.
Where did all of this come from you might be wondering...a few things. However, today in church I truly felt God's peace. One thing was about the hope of adoption one day...that's been laid on our hearts for sure, but I don't think God's timing is now. Once again...patience and letting God work things out in His time. On that note, let's be honest...if God works it out then you know his ways are "straight" and perfect. I don't want to screw up the great plans he has for me and my family! Let this encourage you too...God's peace often comes when we are trusting Him!
