Resting...

I've just recently received two emails from people who have either a family member or close friend dealing with cancer, and both families have small children. It really makes your heart heavy and sometimes hard to process..I too have a close friend whose been dealing with breast cancer at the age of 38, with 2 small children. She's recently had surgery and God has been good to them, though she still has more chemo and radiation ahead of her. I'm proud of her and how she's remained focused on God's plan for her life.

When I think about my desire to move back to California, or go back to school for my master's degree, it seems so minimal to what these families are facing. I may not be physically near my family, but I still have the opportunity to see and talk with them. So, as I rest and wait for God to reveal His timing for my desire, I pray, and rest with these two families as they start this emotional and weary process of fighting cancer...or recovering from cancer.

Psalm 37:7
Rest in the Lord and wait patiently for Him...

It is our duty and our privilege to wait upon the Lord in service, in worship, in expectancy, in trust all the days of our life. Our faith will be a tried faith, and if it be of the true kind, it will bear continued trail without yielding. We shall not grow weary of waiting upon God if we remember how long and how graciously He once waited for us. - Charles Spurgeon

I will chose to wait with joyful anticipation...
