"keep walking with me along the path i have chosen for you. your desire to live close to me is a delight to my heart. i could instantly grant you the spiritual riches you desire, but that is not my way for you. together we will forge a pathway up the high mountain the journey is arduous at times, and you are weak. someday you will dance lightfooted on the high peaks; but for now, your walk is often plodding and heavy. all i require of you is to take the next step, clinging to my hand for strength and direction. though the path is difficult and the scenery dull at the moment, there are sparkling surprises just around the bend. stay on the path i have selected for you. it is truly the path of life."
(psalm 37:23-24: the steps of a man are established by the lord, and he delights in his way. when he falls, he will not be hurled headlong, because the lord is the one who holds his hand.
psalm 16:11: you will make known to me the path of life; in your presence is the fullness of joy; in your right hand there are pleasures forever.)
our little family is in a place of waiting right now. waiting for god's plan for us to continue to unfold; waiting and trusting his provision for us. he is always faithful! he is never late. he holds us in the palm of his almighty hand and will continue to bring about the *beautiful* plan he has for us.
what are you waiting for today? what path does god have you on? wherever life may find us, what a blessed reminder it is: "in HIS presence is the fullness of JOY."
