Waiting is such a difficult thing to do... and it's been a lot of what we've been doing the last few months, waiting for the reply from a company to give TK the go-ahead for his research. We've been living on the hope that things will work out so long as the door is not shut. But our human frailties cause us to fret as time inches towards the research paper deadline.
However, we were reminded last night as we watched the movie, Facing the Giants, to put our trust in the Lord who so loves us... all 100% of our trust... that must also be reflected in our actions. Do we prepare our fields for the rain when we pray for rain to water the crops? Do we praise His name in all circumstances, good or bad, because we know that He is in control? When something seems so hard to do, do we remember that with God, all things are possible?
Maybe I'm not speaking for both of us... and I'm glad that TK is more assured of God's hands in all that he's doing and never gave up on it. Today, he finally received an email to tell him that he can start the survey in early July!
Proverbs 3:5-6 says
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways, acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight." One of my favourite verses that has been repeated many times over in our apartment as Steve Green leads the children in singing this memory verse tune. We're so bless to have God pave the way :)
