Hurry Up! And Wait.

Hurry up.  And wait.  That seems to be the theme in renovation.  :)  No matter how you may push to have something happen, it probably won't happen in the time frame that you have in mind.

I went to the cabinet company to pick out my cabinets and counter top.  However, I have to wait on them to come and measure, draw up the plan, approve it by me...before they can order the cabinets. Which takes three weeks.  So it might be done by Tuesday.  Maybe.

Asbestos.  The company was supposed to come remove the tile floor yesterday.  They couldn't.  Have to wait on OSHA to approve that they can now come and take them out.  

The general contractor can't even start on the drywall until the asbestos people do their part.

Hurry up.  And wait.

God did that a lot in the Bible.  He likes to do things in His timing.

Abraham and Sarah was one of the biggest examples of hurry up and wait.  And they sure had a hard time of it.  Even took things into their own hands and made their own plan.  Oops.  They had a hard time on the waiting part.

So, for the next month - maybe two for our family...hurry up and wait.  What in your life is making you wait?  

"Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord."  Psalm 27:14

It will be worth the wait.  It always is with the Lord!

You May Abound In Hope

Today I completed a devotional book by Candace Cameron Bure.  100 Days of Joy and Strength.  I was struggling last night.  Darkness seemed to overwhelm me.  The last day of this devotional gave me exactly the encouragement I needed to go another day. Here are the verses she shared from God's Word. "I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in His word I put my hope."  Psalm 130:5 "We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;"  II Corinthians 4:8-9 "As for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me.  Do not gloat over me, my enemy!  Though I have fallen, I will rise.  Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light."  Micah 7:7-8 "I remain confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.  Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord."...
