Waiting

This morning as I was driving to watch one of my student's basketball games, I began thinking about our life in Noblesville over the last few months. In many ways, it seems we've been doing a lot of waiting, a lot of wishing, and a lot of praying and still don't have any answers.

Joe has recorded in Nashville, but we have yet to hear any MP3s from the recording or to work on the album further. It's difficult for Joe to market himself and to move forward with his musical passions without his new music. It's easy to get discouraged and to question God's timing and plan, but right now he is simply calling us to wait on Him. Our lease in our apartment is up at the end of August. Do we stay in Indy or do we move? Does Joe continue to pay the bills as an accountant, or is this our chance to take a leap of faith and pursue his music career?

Thankfully, I don't have to know the answers, because a God who has known me before I was born has a plan for us and will take care of us. While it might feel like we are in the wilderness waiting right now, God is faithful and will answer us in His timing. We will learn patience and actively WAIT in the process...

PS--busy season lasts for 45 more days which in my mind is 48 days too long.
