TRUST

The past two weeks have been filled with more packing, sorting, and ministry work. We tried to set aside a week to focus on going through the house room by room. Packing things to go into storage, getting rid of things that can't go with us, and figuring out what needs to go in luggage. We got through one day and realized our expectations were unrealistic. There is still a lot of start up ministry work to be done before we leave things completely in the hands of the leadership team for AWAKENHAITI. We will do what we can to get things started here, then we will TRUST the leadership team to carry out the vision God has given. He has brought this team together and has allowed us to be part of what He is doing in Haiti, therefore, we TRUST.
We continue to wait for things to move forward with the sale of our house. We find ourselves trying to control the situation at times, but we have learned we can't and shouldn't. God's timing has proven to be better than ours time and time again so we wait for it and TRUST.
I have been researching schooling options for our kids for quite some time now and for the past few weeks have had doors closing with what I thought would be ideal situations. I was feeling quite frustrated to say the least and continued to be burdened with this decision. After a lot of prayer and waiting, a door opened for Colton. An opportunity I never saw coming. An opportunity that is better than all of my ideas and plans.
hmmm...TRUST???
TRUST, a theme that keeps resurfacing. How can we go through this process without it and still honor God?
I studied the words in Proverbs 3:5-6 for days this summer, trying to really understand what they mean. Now I look back and see that these words mean earnestly seeking God's guidance and discernment and then letting Him and waiting for Him to guide and discern.
We will move forward with getting packed and getting rid of stuff and preparing to go... TRUSTING. TRUSTING that details will come together, support will come, the house and other things will sell. No one ever said it would be easy, but we move forward learning to TRUST.
