Trusting God while Going Beyond Limits
So I wrote yesterday how I am going on a 90 day challenge to reach my goals. On day one, I have already not read the Bible with my family, though I still fully intend on getting some personal Bible reading time in. I am trying not to give myself a hard time because I know we had a busy day today and got home late. I just wanted to plug in that update. But the reason I am really writing this post is because I was going over some of the posts my friends had in the Going Beyond Limits events page on Facebook, and they were talking about how they were trusting God for this and this...
And I realized something; my husband and I are also trusting God/waiting on God to do something big in our lives. Don't get me wrong, He has already done a lot for us. Just recently he made a way for us to have two cars that are completely paid for, which is necessary when you live out in the boon docks like us. But we actually want to move closer to our church so that we can be more involved, and frankly, where we live now is more financially capable, if that makes sense...
Even still, we believe that if it is God's will for us to be more involved, then He will make a way for us to be closer so that we can be more present. It's funny, because while we are looking at rental houses, and seeing the prices go up and up, we keep looking. Why? Because we believe it's what He wants us to do.
When my husband first suggested we move, I was completely against it. I like our house. I like, for the most part, living in a secluded area. Sure, it can get kind of creepy at night, but during the day the surrounding area is pretty nice. And I really don't like moving. But eventually I began to see the pros, especially in being closer to the church, and then I was in agreement. So we both began looking for a new place to live; and guess what, nothing is within our price range. Even the places we wouldn't really want to live in are above our means.
So here's the deal, either we're going to find a place within our budget, or God is going to increase our budget, you feel me? This is faith on wheels. It's one thing to say you trust God, and another to act on that faith. These last few months have been one thing after another after another. I am convinced it has everything to do with my prayer for God to increase my faith. Well, I am learning what that means. Having faith really has nothing to do with what you see, and everything to do with what you believe God can/will do.
