[Sheryl85]

I hate to be a bother and this may sound really corny (and since Martin already started this), but have you ever thought that this may be one of those situations where God is trying to tell you to “Wait?”

Okay, okay! You are going to think I’m crazy, but you see one of the “Top 10” items on my fear list was economic insecurity. It was the one that drove me before I came into the program and it was one that nearly broke me down at year 13. (I keep forgetting that my life is still unmanageable by me.) I got into trouble when I started thinking that I just had to do this or that to improve my economic situation. Sometimes the decisions I made got me into worse shape than before I did whatever it was that I did. Now I try to make sure that my HP is involved. I discovered that He gives me more than “Yes” or “No” as an answer. Sometimes He says “Wait.” I’m not very happy when that happens, let me tell you. But, it seems that “God saves the best for those who let Him make the decisions,” because if I had gotten my way and acted on impulse or what I perceived to be what was best for me, I would have sold myself short just about every time.

So, maybe the house isn’t in the school district that you want it to be. Maybe it’s not as large as you would find comfortable. But, ask yourself this…Do you have a roof over your head? Were you able to pay your bills today? Are you still sober in spite of not selling your house today? If you answered “Yes” to all the questions, then I’d say you had a pretty good day, don’t you think? (Kiddo, it's still just a "house" until you make it a home...)

When the time is right, your HP is going to give you the go ahead to make that decision. But it may not be today since it seems that His answer right now is “Wait.” Sucky, right? Just wanted to share that little gem with you.
