We are living in such a strange place right now. We have a circle of people who love us asking frequently, "So, what's the plan now? And are you glad to be back? And what's next, where are you going to live."
I've jokingly said, I guess God wants us to be flaky!
But it is not a natural or easy place to walk. While we are doing well and loving each other it does feel like we are in a waiting room.
You know that feeling? You know you will be called... Eventually. You know you will get to speak with the right people and get the information you need... Eventually. And so you wait.
We could leave. There's not a lack of resources, time, money, or ideas. BUT GOD has told us to wait. I mean really, He even sent me a voicemail from Heaven a few weeks ago!
Apparently I needed a reminder again today after calling several campgrounds experiencing rejection after rejection due to our family size. (P.S. We never had this much trouble in any other part of the country, we are really thrown by it here, if you can't tell).
While geocaching today, in the very first cache, the finders directly before us wrote these two scriptures on the log. They are both scriptures my mother quoted frequently.
Isaiah 30:21 Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.”
Now check this out! God is AMAZING.
STACY, GET IT THROUGH YOUR HEAD!
Isaiah 40:31 but they who WAIT for the Lord shall renew their strength;they shall mount up with wings like eagles;they shall run and not be weary;they shall walk and not faint.
And so wait, I shall, and not grow weary.
