Change

Jenn and I are on the verge of a fairly substantial change in our lives. Change can be really scary, and our situation is no different. What is funny is that change is exactly what we have been praying for these past few months. While it might be scary, there is not any anxiety because we have felt God's hand on it this whole time.

Truth be told, I am glad that we had to wait for an answer to our prayer. Think about how excited Joseph was when he was let our prison after waiting for someone to remember him. Think about how excited Sarah was when she learned that she was finally pregnant. I also think about Moses and how long he had to wander in the desert and finally got to see where his people would live and flourish under God's hand. Waiting has produced in me some very important fruit. It allowed me to know what I really wanted and why. While waiting I learned some important skills and life lessons that I probably would not have received had I not had to wait.

I am not sure what the future holds, but I know that I am excited about it. The thing is, when God has you wait, it is because He has something in store for you. Over the next couple of months Jenn and I's world might be turned upside down, but we have the confidence that God is taking care of everything so maybe that will allow us to just enjoy the ride. We shall see.
