Yes, No or Wait

Just wanted to post that everyone is doing good here.





We found out yesterday that Doug is definitely going to South Africa! They got all the paperwork back in the office from Johannesburg. All it needs is signatures!!! I guess we all are going to South Africa. I don't think it's completely sunk in yet. We are leaving May 17. That's only 10 weeks away! A lot to do!





I have learned a lot about patience and waiting in the last couple months. I have prayed and prayed about patience but I don't think that it's patience that the Lord wanted me to learn. It was the waiting part.





You know how sometimes you feel like you push and push for something? Every time you try to finish it it all just blows up in your face? Like maybe the Lord is saying, "Mind your own business?" I really feel now it's the Lord saying to me wait stop meddling!





Our Sunday school teacher told us a couple of months ago, yes I know I say this all the time, the Lord says to us Yes, NO, or Wait! Wait! How many times have we said, "Wow! I'm glad I waited." He does know what he's doing and He does have a plan for us.





" 'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me with all your heart.' " Jeremiah 29:11-12
