Waiting

Waiting. Waiting. Waiting. 
It's hard.

• We would love to sell our house in order to free us up financially for our move. We are waiting for that right buyer.
• We have 20% of the support raised for living in Lesotho next year, and we are thankful to all of you who are lovingly supporting us financially and in your prayers. We are waiting for the rest of our support to come in. 
• My biopsy results came in this week: squamous cell carcinoma. I'm waiting for a new doctor to take a look at the results and determine the next course of action (which will most likely be digging out a chunk of skin until all the surrounding cells are clear). That appointment takes place a few days after my insurance runs out. 

Earlier this week I was paging through a devotional by Charles Stanley entitled, God's Way Day by Day. I had put sticky notes on favorite selections, and the first one marked was entitled Today and Tomorrow. Stanley writes,

Friend, the God who is in control of today is also the God who is fully in control of tomorrow. He has already prepared for what will happen to you! He has already provided what you will need tomorrow. He has already anticipated the problems you will face tomorrow and has set into motion everything required to resolve those problems (July 21). 

I have reread those words several times this week. God is in control. Our job: trust in the Lord through all the twists and turns. He will direct our paths.
