Wait on God?

My husband and I have been "stuck" - yes I say stuck because we haven't been able to sell it in 3 years - in a 2 bd, 2 bth condo that we bought haphazardly when we only had 2 kids. Then #3 came along, no sell, then #4 arrived, no sell and this place has only gotten smaller and more tight. With all of our ranting and raving about lack of space, no showings, no offers, no nothing, we were SO trying to see God's hand in this. That perhaps He was trying to keep us out of harms way by keeping us here? Perhaps the home that we have been dreaming of is not ready? Maybe it is not here in Illinois? Maybe it won't be a house for a long time? Most likely God sees something bigger ahead that if we knew about it we would go into shock. So He is requiring us to remain patient. Grateful and hopeful. To lean on Him. Hard though isn't it? When the waiting seems so hard to bare? My knees need a good kneeling honey let me tell you.

For nothing is impossible with God - but that doesn't mean that it will be in our timing.

God does know what He's doing. Will we wait long enough to find out?
