Signing
Today was the day for signing up the house, thankfully (for me) the Realtor was sick today and is unable to sign it up! We are trying to decide what to do, Sell off all of the "toys" we own and NEVER use, to try to go to another bank for another try at getting the house refinanced! Trusting in GOD is what I am lacking in... I am trying really hard to understand his devine hand in this.... Maybe that is what his plan is... to get us to rely on him purely!

I've been reading your blog and your updates on things that are occurring in your life. I didn't want to comment on the previous entry about being upset at things in your life. It's easy for me to sit here and comment on how you should trust God while I still have a house and everything. You commented on how you think God wants you to trust Him.
ReplyDeleteI am here to tell you that our situation was not always this easy. We moved here from CA and it was the toughest thing we had to go through. We didn't have money for bills, food, or anything it seemed. Brian's work was a flop and we had nothing. I spent days wondering whether to leave the church or what to do. I didn't trust Him with anything in our life. I started to read my Bible harder than before and try as hard as I could to trust God. Brian went through the trial period of no work and having to stay him with the kids. It was tough for him. I had to help him through his trials and he helped me through mine.
God puts us in positions for us to learn to trust Him more. I'm not saying He wants us to fail at things we do or wants us to do badly. He wants us to trust that He will see us through. He allowed Brian and I to be on the verge of complete financial disaster so we could learn to trust that He had the ultimate plans for our lives and trust that He knew what was best. I'm not saying this is easy....it's not. It wasn't easy for us either. We had everything we needed in CA - except God. Looking back on it, we needed to change to allow God to work in our lives. We are still working on that on a daily basis. We still struggle. I just read this passage in my Ellen White devotional book, " ...If we can live without Christ in this world, He will live without us in the better world. But if we cling to Him by living faith, saying with Jacob, "I will not let thee go"; if we entreat, "Cast me not away from they presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me," the promise is to us, "I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee."
Trust God with every ounce in your fiber to take care of you. He already is. He's just waiting on you to turn to Him. God promised us in the Bible, "I will never leave thee nor forsake thee". God can't lie nor can He breaks His promises. He never has broken one in the Bible. He says, "I change not". If He never has broken a promise in His word, He won't break one now.
I hope you don't take this as a "holier than thou" statement. I love you Holly and I want to offer encouragement. We are still struggling; we don't know where the money comes from to pay our bills on a monthly basis. God is still working on us too. It's tough! I'm just trying to offer encouragement that we have discovered through God. He will answer your prayers; they may be different than what you have in mind. He will do what He knows to be the best for you. Just trust in Him!! =0)
