I'm the first to admit that I'm not very good at waiting, and the bigger the thing I'm waiting for, the worse it is.  So guess what's happening in my life again these days?...I'm waiting!  Worst part of it this time is, I'm not even 100% sure of what I'm waiting for!  Today's "Our Daily Bread" devotional is so timely for me, and you can read it here:  http://www.rbc.org/odb/odb-07-29-07.shtml  

I'm waiting for the work on the house to be done.  Seems the closer we get to the end, the longer it seems to take.  It's like one of those dreams where you can see where you want to go but you can't run and you can't get any closer - what you seek is always just out of reach.  I'm waiting for clear direction on what we will do when the house does sell.  We are still quite all for the moving-to-Florida idea, but then thoughts will come like "Is it wise to just up and go?...what if DH can't find decent work?"  Is that fear talking?  Are we focusing too much on nightly news reports about the economy?  Memories of life right after college aren't so old that they've faded - we were in a recession and there was precious little to find for employment.  Of course the difference now is that DH has years of experience under his belt, but still...   If the Lord is calling us to make a move, shouldn't we be trusting Him to work out the details?

I'm waiting to see if we'll end up at the camp in NH after all.  Some days I feel so strongly about it that I'm sure the director will call any day with good news on the housing front.  Some days I want that to happen more than I want the adventure of moving to Florida.  It's "safe."  It's a move that would come with a job and a house all built in.  No risk there!  No adventure, either.  If I had my druthers I would move out of New England.  I don't like cold weather and I'm really ready for a change - in scenery and lifestyle overall. 

I'm waiting....to see how the Lord is growing me through all this.  As the devotional says, He never asks you to wait unless He is working on something.  I feel about now like He is working on something big!!  Lord, help me to wait with contentment, and peace.
