Waiting

Right now I am in a period of waiting, and it is not always easy.  Sometimes you forget you are in a period of waiting, but when you are reminded of it your thoughts can become consumed.  Several weeks ago the Lord called me to take a step of faith.  This step of faith could take me to a place I have missed being, or it could leave me right where I gratefully am.  Both are wonderful places to be, and while I have no idea what impact this will have on my family, the Lord does.  He knows what is best for us.  For now I am waiting to see what He says. Was I just called to take this step in obedience and go through this time of waiting and resting in Him? Is this a time of learning, growing, and leaning on Him?  Or will that step lead us down a new path for our family? While I am at complete peace with either direction He takes us, the waiting is hard.  I start thinking of what things will be like in the fall.  I start planning, organizing (because we all know I LOVE to do that), and scheduling. Some scheduling decisions that need to be made soon would be easier if I knew what the future held.  Then I have to pull myself back and remind myself I may not be called to that journey.  I was called to obedience.  Where the Lord will take it from there I do not know.  What I do know is that He is faithful and He has blessed me with the most incredible people in my life. For that I am eternally grateful.
