PATIENTLY WAITING


 
 I am not a good wait-er.

There......I said it.  

Seriously, I'm the type that once I make up my mind to do something, I want to do it.  Not talk about it.  Do it.  And certainly, not talk about it and worry about it and wait for it.

This whole business with selling our home and moving normally would stress me out.  Big time.  And it did for a few weeks.  Not anymore.  I turned it over to God.  I told Him I would wait for His timing.  And while I'm waiting (patiently, I might add), I'm doing my part to make the move easier when the time is right.  I'm also praying for the family who will buy our home.  And you know what?  It's been easier than I thought it would be.

Something good is going to happen.

For sure.  I just know it.

That's because you're leaning on God - that's why it's easier :) I can't wait to see what He has in store for you. It is sure to be amazing since He is a part of it!

I love your sweet spirit AND your faith that all will go well regarding this sale. Best wishes for a quick sale and in finding your replacement home. It will be the perfect house for you, George and Daisy. Remember: God is in control.

I love your sweet, patient way about things. I'm think I'm usually either procrastinating or being impatient for things to move faster.

I'm glad that all your patience and faith lend you that serenity that you seem to have---I pray for that all the time.

I'm no good at waiting either! You are using your time well though and are waiting in Faith! I think it's so sweet that you are praying for the next family to live there - what a great idea!

I know its easier said than done ~ but things will happen as they are meant to, despite any worrying and anxiety we spend energy and valuable time on. I'm certain all is going to work out perfect and you will be blessed beyond your expectations - in the next chapter of your life that waits to be written! xo HHL

I like the fact that you are keeping busy and you do have the right attitude.
I've always loved your spirit!

It's gonna happen, and in God's time. I have a situation also, but putting it in God's hands!

Hugs!

Patience is a virtue.
And might I add
... one I am not naturally blessed with.
... one I pray for daily :-)

Karen Mortensen said...

Amen. What you said is good advice for all. Things seem to go better when we turn everything over to God.

Whew, bet that feels good! Let Go and Let God! Have a blessed Sunday and a wonderful week Kat.

I learn from you every day. Give it up to God... how perfect!

Love your attitude about this move. God's hand will certainly be orchestrated in this whole situation and always remember.... His timing is perfect! I am not a good waiter either. I want things done yesterday, but I have had to learn patience through the years in various situations. I turned my cancer over to God and he got me through all that just fine. He will do the same for you on the sale of your house and your move to a new place. Love & blessings from NC!

Isn't it sad that we have to wait for so long to learn those really important lessons in life? Now, I've learned to say that either it will or it won't and I'll be fine either way. Cause I will. I've just read back several posts and enjoyed catching up.

We built a sauna in our bathroom when we built, but I have never been in it. Just the thought makes me ill.

Love that Miss Daisy! Cute as ever!

I'm a hoarder and always have been. It is just too hard for me to throw things away. Can't stand it. Drives Don crazy!

Stay cool, my friend...and don't work too hard. Hope these folks 'bite the hook' and moving won't be too far away. I'm assuming you'll stay in Destin?
