6 Surely he will never be shaken;
a righteous man will be remembered forever.
7 He will have no fear of bad news;
his heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD.
8 His heart is secure, he will have no fear;
in the end he will look in triumph on his foes.
Many of you know we still have a house in Murray. Selling a house has it's up and downs. People look at it and really seem like "the ones". Then nothing happens and the time continues on. You then begin to not consider it a sell until the deed is out of your hands. Except you lie to yourself because you still do.
To be totally transparent with you (as we all should be) I have grown weary of it all. I do know and understand that it will happen. Explaining this opens up these statements:
"Maybe God is teaching you patience" (True)
"It is just not God's timing." (True)
"It will all be ok" (True)
"You will learn something from this." (True)
All of these statements are true. I have no doubt that God will come through. God has shown himself to us so much in this year it has been amazing. But if we are all totally honest and transparent we know it is still not easy. You experience every emotion possible in the wait. Some of those are not so easy to endure. I take great heart in the above verses.
I may be sad...but I won't Fear!
I may be impatient ...but I won't Fear!
I may be scared... but I won't Fear!
I may not be certain when... but I won't Fear!
Yes I wait and trust in the Lord. He will come through as he always does. There may be many emotions until then...but Fear will not be one of them.

After 10 days without power, I must admit, I was getting a little discouraged, cranking, aggravated, etc. I thought I must be suffering from post traumatic stress syndrome. People at work were cranky with each other (those that didn't have power were envious of those that did). But, I must say, everyone was very considerate, offering to do laundry for those without. Along about the 10th day, Glenn got the call about "The Mobile Home". I was so excited. It changed my whole outlook. I told everyone at work, that it was worth not having power for 10 days, if that is what it took to sell the trailer. Well my excitement quickly turned into discouragement once again. I know that is is probably not as discouraging for me as it is for you and Buffy. But....a mother never wants their children to suffer. (AND YOU HAVE SUFFERED ENOUGH). Today, when you called, I felt so helpless. My boss asked knew that something must be going on, and asked if I needed a hug. Then she was forced to have to listen to me vent for a while. I told her that the Lord is supposed to provide for you. It has been since June and the trailer is still setting there. If it were meant for you guys to move to Owensboro, then this should work out. Laura reminded me that God will provide in His own time, which may not be my time or yours.
