Tomorrow is our 1 year anniversary of
being DTE. When we got on the "list" we were listed at #45. Now, here we are
a year later and we are listed as #44.
A few weeks ago our pastor gave a
sermon on patience and I thought I'd share some of the scriptures and
messages from them that he spoke of and that have helped my husband and I
through this year of no movement.
Psalm 37:7 Be still in the presence of
the LORD, and wait patiently for him to
act.
Ask yourself- who can I help
while I am here? This will help you to have patience with a
purpose.
Phil 4:8 And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing.
Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and
lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of
praise.
Ask yourself- what can you do while waiting? What do you fix your
thoughts on? Seek His purpose for your wait.
Psalms 23-24 If the Lord
delights in a man's way,he makes his steps firm; 24though he stumble, he will
not fall,for the Lord upholds him with his hand.
Remember, you are where you
are because He wants you there. His timing is perfect and His plans for us
are always for good.
So as we finish out year 1 of our wait, I hope you
all are finding the positive in the wait and comfort in knowing that He would
not ask us to wait if it was not for a purpose. Although I hate that I never have any "real" news to share, I am also so grateful to have others to share our story with! I hope you all are having a wonderful
weekend.
Love,
Rachel
