In Gods Timing.

I haven't found myself in a place where I had anything worth writing about. Things have been going very well since I began placing my trust in the Lord. Even in tough times, when we are right with God, we can find true joy. That being said I still find my self being very anxious. I have this desire to continue a work God placed on my heart years ago. The problem is that it is not currently a possibility. I took the opportunity for granted and in doing so created a distrust, a wall or barrier that seems nearly impossible to overcome. I understand that it is necessary to be rebuilt and reestablished as a man of God. That is not an easy task. It is also important to develop a stronger faith, one that will not be shaken in the future as it was previously. For that to happen I know I must be challenged and be strengthened by those God has placed on my path. I am anxious as ever and yet I know what God is doing. I need to trust in His timing, it is always perfect. I do have a desire to know the end game, but instead I need to learn to live by faith and trust that God will not disappoint. Not always an easy task. I ask for your continued prayers. My wife has this scripture on the computer and I think it is somewhat relevant.

For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. for when I am weak, then I am strong. - 2 Corinthians 12:10

Gods Provision

During this time of growth and change I have recently begun I have made it my goal and duty to trust in Gods provision. It has been exciting and revitalizing being able to go through the month and not have to worry. February has been a short month and our finances were probably at their worst. This week I realized we were close to $500 short for rent. Yesterday I received a check for the exact amount we needed. The thing is, we were not supposed to have gotten that check. It was part of our tax return that was just sent a few days earlier. Gods provision is amazing. We could have worried and as everyone we knew for money, sort a kidney or maybe robbed a bank, but we made a conscious choice not to get bent out of shape. I can only say thank you for the amazing blessing you bestow upon those who are so undeserving.
