I came across this in my email today & it spoke right to my heart. Yes-- our family's circumstances are in limbo right now since my husband, Joel has become unemployed. It really gives me such a reassurance to know that there is no need to worry or set a time table regarding His new position. That new door of opportunity will present itself & will open in the Lords awesome timing.
With that said, I don't want to lose joy just thinking about what might or might not happen in the future. I may have goals and plans for our family, but the Lord is teaching me each and every day through setbacks that He is good & to wait on Him. :)
"At the end of each year, a calendar is like an album of little snap shots of were we've been & what we've done. At home, families are learning a simple rule, "Write everything down in pencil" One simple lesson a calendar can teach us that plans can change. Doctors appointments get rescheduled, dinner dates get cancelled & sometimes anticipated events don't work out.
Thankfully, that doesn't mean that our lives are out of control, that nothing is certain, and that there's nothing that we can trust in. But, God wants you to move through this day with a quiet heart, an inward assurance that He is in control, a peaceful certainty that your life is in His hands, a deep trust in His plans & purposes, and a thankful disposition that all that He allows.
He wants you to put your faith in Him, not in a timetable. He wants you to wait on Him and wait for Him. In His perfect way, He will bring everything together, see to every detail, arrange every circumstance, and order every step to bring to pass what He has for you."
