I forget that reading the Word is always in God's plan, & that maybe I will learn more about His will when I am in the Word. A daily struggle.

Although it doesn't really relate to waiting, my husband & I gave up a lot to spend one year in ZImbabwe & God keeps delaying our departure... things like a permanent home, starting a family, building our carreers, etc. God has a plan for all of it - & in the midst of our struggles we are to BRING HIM PRAISE.Erin Toewsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6045525315330985607.post-67911840587659859992015-04-13T13:57:11.989-06:002015-04-13T13:57:11.989-06:00We have friends & family & church members ...We have friends & family & church members inviting us into their home for short & long terms until God says it is time to board the plane for Zimbabwe.
