I find myself not sleeping very well lately due to the unsettled feeling that surrounds my thoughts. This year has presented many new (and old) challenges and struggles, and next year proves to be more of the same. Sometimes I wish that there was a clear answer from God. Things are changing in our little farming world, and Jason and I have been praying that we make the right move. But it seems that the harder we try, the more opportunities that present themselves the harder and more confusing everything becomes.
So Jason and I have found a verse that I would like to share.
"Wait on the Lord;
Be of good courage,
And He shall strengthen your heart;
Wait, I say, on the Lord!"
Psalm 27:14
To wait on the Lord is to demonstrate confident expectation. The Hebrew word for wait may also be translated hope. To hope in God is to wait for His timing and His action!
Don't you just love that?! So I wish you a very Merry CHRISTmas, and that whatever situation you find yourself in this Christmas I hope that you too will find yourself waiting on the Lord.

That is so beautiful! Thank you so much for the encouragement. I count you as one of my biggest blessings!
I love you very much Candi, and I always love your encouraging blogs...you are so good to be an encouragement to others, even when you are the one needing the encouragement---thats a gift!
Merry Christmas, sister!
Thank you both for the kind words! What a blessing to me to have 3 extra sisters. I love you all!
I think that you have captured the essential skill that God is continually trying to teach us.
Someone said that we should work like it all depends on us and pray like it all depends on God. Unfortunately, many times I applied half of that advice much better than the other half.
Hang in there and keep on working and praying because God has soooo much for both of you.
Have a Merry Christmas that will be a memory for many years because of the time you get to share with family and friends (both near and far).
Great post. I have such a "planner" personality that I often struggle with thinking I am in control of what happens next, which is way too overwhelming! I'm always relieved when I remember that God holds the blueprints for my life, and His plans are far superior to anything I could ever dream up.
By the way, you've been tagged! Check out my blog for details. ;)
