This is my bible study. I’m following a chronological study with “Heart Dive” on youtube. I have an Inspire bible I purchased in 2018 that I’m finally putting to good use and I’m adding my own interleaved papers/notes as I go.
We’re currently in the middle of a very stressful time right now, having to move. We gave this issue to God and just like anytime before, it never ceases to amaze me that He has So much more in store than what my simple mind could ever imagine. We are moving into an upgrade, as our family (now 4 adults) have outgrown our 2 bedroom place. We are moving to a 4 bedroom place. This gives everyone their own room. I work from home, with sensitive information and they’d really like for me to be in a room by myself. Success! I have an office!
When we started this process well over a month ago, I was feeling very discouraged and distraught because this move wasn’t exactly something I was planning. It was kind of forced upon us. We thought, initially, we’d get a house but – again with no plans of moving, we weren’t in the place financially or with our credit to really look at getting a home.
I felt hopeless. But during this time, I was spending many hours (close to 20 hours a week) in this bible study. I was learning that everything I was feeling (negative, anxious, fear, doubt, all the things that lead to pain and knots in my stomach and chest) WERE NOT OF GOD. God would never make or leave you to feel like that. I’m also learning that our feelings are not of God. If we’re acting on our feelings, then we’re not in faith!
And so during those dark moments, I heard something tell me “just wait.” While I have to believe this to be true, I’m looking at the calendar going… ok but like there is a time crunch. And now here we are on the night of possibly getting the keys tomorrow and having the glorious place we could only dream of!
Live by & Love in Faith
