What I've been learning lately

I feel like the Lord has been showing me lately that He is faithful.  No matter the circumstance.  No matter how long we pray ...He is faithful.  I have had many unanswered prayers.  Many prayers that aren't answered the way I would have liked.  That doesn't change the fact that the Lord is faithful.  His love for us doesn't change.  He continues to uphold me with His mighty right hand. (Isaiah 41:10).

I went with Larry to Pennsylvania for a job 2 years ago.  It was a great time and I really enjoyed it.  I met some great people and knew the Lord brought me up there for a purpose.  But the Lord called me back 8 months ago.  I was thrilled to be back closer to my kids!  I knew this was a great opportunity and was very thankful for it!  So I came back and we prayed for Larry to find a job here soon.  I just knew that since the Lord brought me back to Texas that He would bring Larry back soon.  But we waited and we prayed.  We waited and prayed.  Finally, 8 months later.....Larry will be returning!  8 months doesn't seem that long to some.  I realize some people wait on God for years to answer their prayers.  I have waited for years for some things.  

The Lord is faithful regardless of how long we wait.  Our circumstances do not change the character of God.  He is faithful.  His Word is true.  I will trust in this. 

And I'll do the happy dance when my hubby returns!  C'mon...do it with me! :)

Psalm 89:8
Lord God of hosts, Who is mighty like You, O Lord? Your faithfulness also surrounds You.
