• Tuesday, September 5, 2006 - Disappointed But Hopeful

Posted in Just My Heart

Well, we found out today that the land we had wanted sold to someone else.  Needless to say we are disappointed.  We are living in a townhouse in an apartment complex, and we are all feeling very cramped and tired of it.  But we still believe God sees, hears, and understands.  He knows exactly what we need and exactly when we will need it.  It seems this whole year has been about leaning completely on Him.  I know there have been several times I have thought it impossible to keep on going, but somehow, by nothing but God's grace, I have made it at least this far.  So why stop trusting Him now?  The answer is in allowing Him to increase my trust, to expand my faith, to be still and know that He is God, and I am not. Not an easy lesson for me to learn, but I know it is for the best.

 

Blessings,

Jen

Sorry to hear this didn't turn out as you expected. Don't give up on your dream. When God closes a door, He always opens another one even better.

Thanks for leaving the comment. I know that you are disappointed right now about losing the land you had hoped to buy. But God knows what is best, and sometimes things don't work out because it isn't was is best for us. So keep your faith in God and I know that He will work things out for y'all in His time.
We use to live in Tennessee, years ago. In fact my husband is from there, south of Nashville in Lawrence County. We also lived in southern Kentucky for 3 1/2 years. I really like the areas in eastern Tennessee and western North Carolina. I lived near Asheville, NC before I married, would love to live there again one day, but following God's will for our lives and He wants us in Arkansas for now. So can't argue with that. Keep the faith and I will help you pray that God will open the right doors for your family. Keep me posted.
