Great Expectations

"Jesus, Jesus how I trust him, oh for grace to trust him more."  What uplifting words taken from a song we sang in church this morning.  It seems easier to trust the Lord when things are moving along in life as planned and smoothly.  But, when the storms in life come along to shake the world around me do I tend to trust Him less.  Being reminded this morning that Jesus doesn't leave me during rough waters, I just have to trust Him completely even during those times in my life.  Thank you Lord for reminding me to put all challenges into perspective. 

The process of building our new house and purchasing our lot has had its challenges that often took me off track as far as trusting and leaving things in the Lords hands.  August 2012 was the beginning of a very exciting new endeavour in our lives, but as the year has passed has not been without its unforeseen delays.  Keeping the proper focus has slipped at times, but so thankful that at this point along this house building project we are in the forward motion forging ahead with great expectations.  The Lord has definitely had all under His control and I have had to be reminded of that along the way.  I am excited about what the Lord has in store for my husband and I as we start a new chapter in our lives together after 22 years of marriage.  Moving to Hepburn has been a decision we have made together and I am looking forward to whatever the Lord has in store as this new chapter starts revealing its pages.
