Yesterday was a mountain of frustration, exhaustion and confusion yesterday. Part of it was just me, the weariness carried over from last week and the rest from the house search.
Up until the past few days I have had an overwhelming peace from the Lord on our future home. I knew that He sees it and already knows everything about it and the journey we will take until moving in. I am earnestly praying for a four bedroom two plus bathroom, basement and fenced yard, I believe He can bring us a home like that.
I spent the day thinking about the houses we had seen over the weekend and questioning myself. Was I being too picky? Should I just says yes to one of them and move on? Can I really live in Front Royal? The questions and doubt were endless, not too mention stealing my peace at the same time.
I spoke with my mom several times, asking for her advice and counsel and I am beyond grateful for the mom I have.She encouraged me to walk, trust and know that He is in control. The our Father leads us and does not drive us. Powerful words!
Bruce arrived home and I began to share with him the afternoons events. As we were chatting in the kitchen God came down, His spirit and powerful presence enveloped our hearts, tears began to fall down my face and once again, we KNEW!
HE is in control, HE has a PERFECT place for us! Excitement and hope filled our hearts once again!
I am so thankful, blessed and in love with my heavenly Father!
The enemy is so sly. He easily slips into our minds and our hearts and if we don't reach out for advice and prayer, we may make a wrong decision because we can rationalize it out. I want God to make this decision. Not one that I make due to this or that and maybe end up regretting in the long run. He is faithful to reward my trust in Him as
I CHOOSE NOT to lean on my own understanding!Peace sweet peace.
