Knowing vs. Waiting

Waiting builds character and endurance for the race set before us.  It causes us to seek for the discovery; it makes room for a process of humility and discipline, if needed....which is most likely the case in most of us;  it allows new perspective to enter in if we allow God to change us in this.  

Waiting for God to reveal a thing...which is always Truth that we are looking for... is difficult;  and if we have not the patience or the will to allow Him to teach us this fruit-of-the-Spirit virtue our attitude can trap us and debilitate our thinking causing ourselves to be wrapped up in spiritual bondage.

However, if we will allow Him, the Master Potter, to mold and shape us, the cracked pottery, while we wait...

...the Truth will set us free and the wait will have been all worth it!

Knowing sets us in motion, sets us free to move forward in a thing.  It puts vision in our minds and a plan in our lives.  

Two out of the three major things we, Steve and I,  have been praying for and seeking God about have been answered.

1.  Steve hit his quota and then some alot for his job and now he is able to keep it!  I am so very proud of him, for he has worked very hard to achieve this goal.  

2.  As of late last night we know where we will be living.  Carson, California is our destination!  Despite the smog and being one block away from the 405 freeway, we will only be 13 minutes away from one of my sisters and just miles away from another.  First time since we were kids under the same roof!  I am very excited about this.

The third and fourth ideas have been partially answered:

3.  The Honda Corporate Office has communicated that they may help us with partial help on fixing our Honda Pilot.  On the other hand, I believe in a BIG God that is Bigger than Honda and He is able to change the hearts of these people.  So I am believing that by tomorrow (Wednesday, June 8th) they will call us and share the good news that they will take care of the WHOLE job...God willing!  And if not, then God has a better plan in this ;o)

4.  Our moving expenses are much and this does not just include the moving truck, car trailer, and gasoline.  There are medical expenses to pay off here in New Mexico (the only debt we have...praise God!), closing of bills and then opening of utilities in California (which can be costly), rent and deposit in Ca., a filling of the refrigerator, and well, for those of you who have moved across country you well know all the little expenses that come with it.  God is providing and I need not worry!  I have to constantly remind myself of this fact and remember all the times that He has already.  I need to remember the stones!

So, I am thankful for two out of four answered prayers!  This gives me more motivation and strength and encouragement to keep going.

Until the next update I will continue to...

Enjoy My Kup...
