I apologize for the delay . . .

Well, here it is toward the end of August and I am just getting around to writing in my good ole blog. It's not that I haven't wanted to write anything, but I certainly haven't had the time. I started a new job at a different law firm with a GREAT attorney almost a month ago and I haven't stopped yet. The change from my previous job to this one has been extremely exciting and beneficial. Not only am I working for a MUCH better attorney, but I'm being paid more and I love the location of the firm. Plus, I actually get to go to court with the attorney.

I really enjoy my job now. When the weekend comes, I enjoy the time off, but I don't dread Monday mornings like I used to do. There used to be several weekends that I couldn't enjoy because all I could think about was Monday morning. Now, I'm able to forget about Monday until Sunday night and even then, I don't dread getting up and coming to work. God has given me a job that I actually enjoy. Now if I could only the same thing about my husband and his job, I would be COMPLETELY happy.

It's true what they say about us not being on God's timetable. It seems to take God sooooo long to answer our prayers that we often give up and assume that His answer is "NO" when it's actually "not yet." However, I am finding that when I do receive what I've been praying for, it is FAR better than I could have imagined. My first proof of that is my husband. I prayed for years for a Godly man to love me and be my companion here on earth. When I met my husband, I couldn't believe how God answered my prayers (to the T) and then threw in a few "bonuses" all on His own.

It is hard to wait on the Lord. It is hard to be patient. It is hard to find joy when all you can see is darkness and disappointments. it's not easy to hear "God knows best" or "God is in control" or "Let go and let God" but they are all true. God DOES know what it is best for us and He IS in control and things would be so much better if I just LET GO.

What do you do while you are waiting on God? Keep praying. Never stop praying. Never stop petitioning God for the desires of your heart. No matter how long it takes, never quit.

God loves His children and He will provide for them. In His way and in His time, but He will provide.
