Sandra -
I have had the same problem over the years -
I laugh at myself when I think how many times I've had a chance to learn this lesson - I hope by the time I'm 99, I'll have it learned.

There is only one thing that I know is a sure thing in life & that is that GOD IS FAITHFUL (even if I don't learn my lessons very well!).

THANKS for sharing -

Sandcraft,

Thank you so much for sharing this. I often try to "fix" things myself instead of giving what needs "fixing" over to the Lord.

Lately I have been really pondering over the message of the mustard seed and faith. I have to remind myself that my faith will see me through as your faith has.

Prayers, hugs and thanks,
Rosemary

That's so wonderful! I'm so happy for you. We've been in the unemployed situation & it's no fun.

Thanks be to God.

Patty

I very much enjoy reading your posts. While you may not know it, or acknowledge it, you have much wisdom to offer.

I am so glad you shared this with us..I am happy that you are now employed and actually have a choice of jobs.. May God continue to be a force in your life..

Aren't we all like that, from time to time??

WIHH, must be my long lost sister (RE "God having to nail the door shut or I keep yakking, blasting," etc)..

My life has been so wonderful. Yes, I have had ups and downs but my life is a joy! We have 'ENOUGH' and I am truly thankful...

Inspiring post Sandra, thank you for sharing. I, too am one of the ones that can't leave the situation alone so God can do his work, makes the solutions take a lot longer getting here.

If I could only remember my job is to believe and be faithful.

Halo

I am so thankful that you are seeing God's hand in your life and following the direction He is showing you.

What wonderful news for you and yours! But then, I'm guessing I won't be getting a new neighbor anytime soon? Well, the invitation for a visit is always here!

hallellujah

thats all I can say

hallelujah
LOL amen to hard-headedness, that's me. Thanks for sharing with us, San!

Hallelujah, hallelujah, amen!
