treading water
Ever feel like your treading water instead of walking on it? That's how I feel right now after two full days of looking for houses and coming up empty handed. I mean seriously I have used a half a tank of gas driving around Waco and surrounding areas in the last two days. I know and I keep repeating to myself "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understandings, in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths. And be anxious about nothing, present your request to God and He will give you the desires of your heart". (yes paraphrased but you get my drift.)
Yet after driving in many circles and having a few houses that just were not right or safe, I really don't like the empty handed feeling. I know and I trust that God has the perfect place out there for us but honestly the more we wait the less money we have to give towards a house. Yet again I know that if God provides a hosue He will provide the funding too. I really did think that by this age I would be well on my way to financial stability but it seems the Lord had other plans. Of course just two years ago I was saying that I really did think I would already be married then but look at the amazing husband I was brought while waiting on God's timing.
His timing is perfect and His ways are perfect and I know that if I just keep my head up and keep looking to Him I will never sink or have to tread water....it just feels like I am now :( Yet I do have wonderful friends here that I am so thankful for that are keeping their eyes peeled for new rentals and keeping Mark and I in their prayers. And for that I am so very grateful!
