Waiting

I have been so encouraged by the time we had with my cousin in Florida.  I believe God knows exactly what we need when we need it.  I had been in a state of feeling like maybe we should just wait to ship because of things I couldn't see happening.  I was anxious that we didn't have all our purchases made to get on the crates and really was not trusting the Lord at all!  The reason I am sharing this is because I was starting to give up on God because I couldn't see that we should proceed with the dates we had set.  God used this trip to Florida to encourage my heart and show me that it is not about what we can see but that we need to stand on what we Know!  God has never let us down and I am so quick to abandon him, it makes me sad when he continues to show his faithfulness in the midst of my unfaithfulness.  I am so thankful to the Lord for his continued love of us.  God used my cousin to invest in us in ways I have never seen anyone do before.  It was like God was speaking through my cousin the things my husband and I needed to hear.  Not only did God use my cousin and his wife to encourage us but the body of Christ in a church we did not know.  We met some amazing God honoring people and look forward to our trip back in December.  I believe the waiting period is the toughest and yet most crucial time because it forces you to look to God when in reality you want to ease any discomfort on you own.  God blesses during the waiting period if you look to Him in it.  Thank you to all who continue to pray for us.  We need your prayers most!
