Teach me, Lord, to wait
Great song, really hard to sing honestly. I usually feel like the Lord has been teaching me to wait my entire life for one thing or another, and the lesson doesn't get any easier. We wait for jobs, houses, relationships, kids, etc. How many times does God have to show us that everything works out in the end for us to trust Him and not worry constantly about the petty things of this world. When it comes right down to it, nothing on this earth matters enough to worry over. There is nothing I can do or not do that will change God's ultimate plan, and I will be blessed in this life whether I am given the things I think I want or not. "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding." "For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord." God knows what the game plan is, and that is all I need to know right now. "Teach me , Lord, to wait down on my knees 'till in your own good time you answer my pleas. Teach me not to rely on what others do, but to wait in prayer for an answer from you. They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings like eagles. They shall run and not grow weary. They shall walk and not faint. Teach me, Lord, Teach me, Lord, to wait."

ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I realize now that anyone who used to look at this blog has long ago stopped-if anyone ever did. And that's just as well. I am overcome with frustration. I am trying to get started travel nursing, but have not had enough experience for most positions, and I am afraid I will have to wait until the end of February. Not the end of the world, but my sister and niece have already moved into my house. They were planning on staying here while I went and traveled-good for them and me. They get a whole house with me for the land lord, and I get someone to live in my house while I'm gone paying some of the bills and letting me keep my stuff in the basement.
While waiting for me to go, we (the three of us and our collection of dogs) all are living in my 1000 square foot, two-bedroom, one bath house. Our only salvation is that I have a basement where my sister has taken up residency. If you don't know how hard it is for a woman who works night shift, who is OCD about everything but cleaning the house, and a woman who has a baby who is OCD about nothing but cleaning the house to coexist, try it sometime. I think I'm going to explode!
