It can be very tough in this economy. <br /><br />God's timing is perfect, but it can be very hard to endure sometimes. Keep trusting in the Lord (I am working on that myself).Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08444571585905989924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2391680819139660940.post-18453710048003957322010-03-31T23:34:08.371-06:002010-03-31T23:34:08.371-06:00Alice,

I had a similar experience when after several years of faithfully homeschooling my children, I learned that 2 of them were SIGNIFICANTLY behind. I was so embarassed, ashamed, crushed. I soon learned that they each had a serious learning disability, and began to move forward again, but it was so hard. For 2 years I struggled.I thought I was being faithful. I thought I was walking through a wide open door, how could I hit a wall? I kept singing, "Change My Heart, O, God". When I sang about Him being the potter and me being the clay, I could almost feel his hands holding me. Sometimes the potter has to crush down the clay and start from scratch. That hurts, but He never takes His hands off, and in the end, the vessel He planned will be used for His glory.<br /><br /> I felt "called" to adopt for 20 years before it happened. His timing is not like ours. Remember, if someone was malicious it was NOT God. I was just reading today from Luke(5:11-12 I think), where Jesus tells a parable about how much God loves us and wants to give us good things. I am praying for you, and praising the Lord for His provision to you!Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03234405670230407984noreply@blogger.com
