Waiting

It is really hard to wait sometimes. Wait...let me correct that...it is just plain hard to wait...all the time. In today's world we are use to having things given to us so quickly that I think we tend to forget how to wait. So, right now, I think God is giving my family a good lesson in waiting. We are still waiting to see what will happen with our move to Texas. No one has even looked at our house, we have not heard one word about any interest in our house yet and it is getting harder to wait. Now is a good time for satan to start putting doubts into my mind.

"Are you sure this is what God
wants you to do?"
"Are you sure you are suppose to move?"
"If this is really what God wants for you,
then why isn't something happening?"

It is amazing how when you are going through a "waiting" time the bible seems to make a little more sense. I can understand a little better how Eve could be deceived. I mean, satan is good at twisting thoughts and bringing doubt into your mind. Even though weeks ago I really felt like God spoke to me through others that we are on the right path, and even though there are still people who are telling us that they think we are on the right path, it is still easier to start to disbelieve we are on the right path. It shows me how easily we can doubt that God is with us, how the Israelites must have felt when they would doubt God. We have all read the old testament and wondered why couldn't the Israelites just trust God and move like He wanted them to, but we don't know how much time passed from when He gave them their instructions and when they actually were suppose to do what He wanted them to do. Was it just enough time for them to start to doubt? Just enough time for them to wonder if they heard Him right? Just enough time for satan to spread his lies...his feelings of insecurity among everyone? I am still reading through my bible and I am trying to fight against the whole doubting thing, but it is a daily battle. So, until we know more, we are just going through our regular motions as if we were just going to stay here. Our kids are still registered at school. We are still involved at church, we are not backing out of any of our regular life right now. We are just waiting....
