TRUSTING:

~

A married couple, decided to make some change in their living
situation. They had always lived in the city, and now they decided
they wanted to live in the country, on a lake.

They found a small, lake home. It wasn't the house of their dreams,
but when they sold their city home, they would have money to
remodel it. They had saved some money, so they moved into their
lake home before selling their city home.

One year passed, and the city home didn't sell. They went through
many changes during this time. They had times of patience and
impatience. Some days they trusted the God of their understanding;
other days they couldn't figure out why the God of their
understanding was making them wait so long, why the God of their
understanding wouldn't let them move forward with their plan. The
doors just wouldn't swing wide open.

One day, a neighbor came to visit. His home on the lake was their
dream home – everything they wanted, plus more. The first time
they saw this house, they admired it, wishing they could have a
home just like it, but then they forgot about the idea. They didn't
believe it could ever be possible.

The reason the neighbor came to visit was that he and his wife had
decided to move. He offered them the first option on purchasing his
home.

They accepted his offer, and signed a purchase agreement. Within
two months, they sold their city home and their small but adequate
lake home. A short time later, they moved into the home of their
dreams.

Sometimes, we experience times of frustration in our life. We believe
we're on track, trusting the God of our understanding and ourselves,
yet things don't work out. We have false starts and stops. The door
refuses to swing wide open.

We may wonder if the God of their understanding has abandoned us,
or doesn't care. We may not understand where we're going, or what
our direction is.

Then one day we see: the reason we didn't get what we wanted was
because the God of our understanding had something much better
planned for us.
