Be still

"Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for Him." Psalm 37:7

Many times in my life I have heard the sweet, soft wisper of the Holy Spirit gently saying, "Be still my child. Be still and know." I heard this throughout high school when I couldn't wait to go to college, I heard it in college when I couldn't wait to finally be finished, I heard it as I was frantically looking for a teaching job, as we tried to get pregnant, and now as we pursue building a house. You would think I would learn to be still! I always thought that I had patience and then life, real life happens and I notice I do not. When will I learn to sit back and let God do it in His timing? It is going to happen that way anyways, so why do I fret about it. I shouldn't give a fig or a fiddle! I write this as I sit here 4 month pregnant with a child we prayed for 2 years to get. Thank you Jesus. This week we should break ground on Thursday as long as the lawyers get their act together.
Again, "Be still my child!"

This morning at church I had a lady ask if I was still pregnant because there was no way I could be four months. Some people don't have a filter! Ha, anyhow, this picture shows my belly, so there!Front porch swing view.View from the side.He is standing and welcoming from the "front door". The above pictures are where are house will one day be. We started the process with the bank in January and have been getting such a run around. We got a call from them today (on a Sunday!) that everything was ready to sign, we have to wait 3 days (some law) and then we could start. Yee-haw.
