Allowing God to work

Tonight, the director of missions for Garland County (Hot Springs) is going to ask that we be allowed to live in the vacant parsonage of one of the area churches. This is a huge thing for me. I'm not concerned that God will provide the finances for us to live--I know He will. He has already given me a job. I'm not concerned about meeting people--I know God will put them in our lives. I AM concerned about housing though. Why is this the thing that trips me up? I don't have clue the first. But my thoughts have been consumed with it. I'm praying that God gives me peace to wait and trust Him. And I am waiting and trusting, but I don't think I'm doing a very good job at it. I'm praying multiple times a day (sometimes multiple times per hour) about housing. I know God hasn't forgotten that we need a place to live. But I'm having to turn this concern over to Him multiple times.
Please pray with me about our housing situation. Also, please pray that I chill out, stay out of the way, and let God do what He wants to do.

Thanks in advance for your prayers,
Lad

  2. I understand your concern for housing. I just watched God sell our house after 20 months of me thinking it needed to sell. God worked it out in a way I never would have figured out or thought was a good idea.
    I am praying that God will clearly let you know whether to wait or pull the trigger on an apartment. Deby and I are begging God on your behalf.
