redundancy



I can't believeIi am still writing about waiting. I have found the principles in this song to be the focus that i need at this time. We are waiting with great anticipation for the church that God has for us.So many decisions are hanging in the balance.All decisions have to wait.So much will change when the time comes yet so much is anticipated with joy yet unfulfilled. We have worked so long and so hard and have exhausted our earthly storehouses and efforts that seem fruitless at the moment.Surly we have not worked in vain if God is in control but yet it still feels like we have hit a brick wall.We are helplessly at His mercy to guide our life paths. I have been determined and am more inspired to increase that determination to do as this song encourages....I will serve you while I am waiting....So hard to do when it seems the harder you work the less you see the fulfillment of your desires. I must not dwell on my present circumstance but dwell on my service where I am at and leave the rest to God. I must do the mundane and repetitious things that he has given me to do now and stop dwelling on the frustration that I can feel if I contemplate our present state too much.i am coming to understand the verse "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. I have often thought that this verse was needed when attempting to do great or dangerous or heroic things but i am seeing that it is not just for those times. It is for times like these when I need to do the tedious things or the everyday things the preparational things. I need that verse when my dreams don't seem to be coming true or that they are being redirected. So I know I can do "all" things through Christ who strengthens me for the journey that I do not control... for the path He has laid out that i knew and know nothing about, and while I am waiting to see just where God is going to lead us I will serve Him while I am waiting with joy in my heart because He does strengthen me to do "all" things.

Still Waiting

Still waiting hopefully more patiently but things are changing rapidly. The realities of what has to be done and I thought the wedding was stressful WOW. I will fill everyone in when I have more information.I will have more information when God chooses to give it to us. We are praying and would ask you all that pray to keep praying for us to find our place soon.To direct us to a church soon.Pray for the church that needs a pastor that God would direct them to us.Thanks and I will let you know what it happening.
