Learning to wait:)

So, this is so interesting, but we have learned over and over that waiting on the Lord and His will is the only sure thing. We are so happy for this because that is all we want. You cannot count on anything in this process, and as it says in James, if it is the Lord's will this or that will happen....
It's funny, the minute you think you know something, you don't:) Or the minute you think it's going to go like this, it doesn't:)
I say it with a true smile because what I stated above, Josh and I have both learned in our own lives, and in our married life together. Let's just say this principle is being driven into the marrow. The whole process has provided so much growth that otherwise would not be there, and for this I'm so thankful.
I don't want anyone to think we have heard anything about the particular situation we are waiting on. We still sit waiting:) We are just stepping forward in faith, and we will see what the Lord has.
God has provided so many wonderful promises in His perfect word that I'm just praying over and over and over to keep my mind and heart in the right place. This is huge! Those of you who know me well, know that I print out my scripture and carry it around with me like a life vest...so yesterday's verses were...
Romans 8:5-6
The mind of the sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by the spirit is life and peace.
Colossians 3:15
Let the peace of Christ RULE in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.
James 4:13-17
....Instead, you ought to say, if it is the Lord's will, we will live and do this or that.
1 Peter 5:5-11
Humble yourself under God's mighty hand....
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in ALL circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.
Romans 15:13
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you TRUST IN HIM, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Romans 11:29
For God's gifts and His call are irrevocable!!

So all that to say is keeping our thoughts stayed on Him, His plan, His purpose, and having nothing to do with anxious thoughts, or our own plans has been the challenge. These scriptures sure helped me throughout the day! My flesh so badly wants to start to fret. But in Jesus name I refuse. I'm so thankful to have a God who loves us so much!!! I can't believe the fruit being produced as we wait:)

So, I will post more when we know more. This baby we are waiting on will be born next Tuesday, so if the Lord wills, we will be heading there Monday.
