God is good

I am married to a wise woman. She has made excellent observations in the midst of all of our frustrations and waiting. Here's the deal: we are still waiting for our final homestudy. We thought things were fine, but we got a 4-page list of corrections (some of it was sample wording, so not ALL corrections) this last week. We added the things in that we could answer, but now we wait some more.

#1: God is good. That's what Jana and I have learned, or have been reminded of through all this. Whether the homestudy is complete in 2 days or 2 months, God is still good. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Who are we to think that our timeline of days and months has any significance in God's plan? We're selfish. We're impatient. We're excited. We're selfishimpatientexcited.

#2: God has a plan. The timing is His. And we submit to it. We of course are still praying for things to move quickly, but we know that God's plan is why we're here.


#3: We have to be ready for God's plan; God doesn't have to wait for us. So, we're doing everything we can right now so when we receive the final homestudy, we send it off. Copies, pictures, etc.

My wife is wise. I married my best friend and we're being selfishimpatientexcited together!! Can we do it? This picture sums it up:
