Walking by Faith and Not by Sight

Andrew is away on business once again and without a "real" job I have an awful lot of discretionary time...

In this past year, our church has been an unbelievable blessing to me. I did not think I could love a church so much. Seven wonderful leaders from college group just left after several hours worth of thrilling Nertz games. The best game ever!!! :0)

I am finding myself in a place of waiting and that is hard. Thankfully, Andrew has a wonderful job and we have wonderful supportive and encouraging parents. I have made several applications of which nothing has truly materialized. This past week I applied to a position that sounds just absolutely perfect. If you think of it, I would greatly appreciate your prayers. I deeply believe in the power of prayer.

In the past few weeks, life's road has gotten a bit bumpy again. I covet your prayers for continued peace, joy, love and contentment. Pray that my eyes and ears would be open to those around me and that in this time of waiting I would use my time usefully. Pray for strength for my mind and body to fight the lies of Satan.

Once again, God brought several more people into my life from our church body who have experienced similar situations and their encouragement goes beyond words. I am incredibly thankful to be a part of the Body of Christ.

Currently, I am reading "Hinds Feet on High Places" for our summer women's college group book study. I have a feeling that God is going to do a lot of work in my heart through that book. I am already enjoying it immensely.

Thank you so much for your prayers. They're so treasured!!!

More later.

P.S.: The Getty's song "By Faith and not by Sight" has been so incredibly encouraging in these past seven months. Especially when I begin to question and despair, I have to remind myself of those words and have faith. I need to remember and believe in God's promises. He has NEVER broken a promise!!!
