Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. And thereby put me to the test, says the Lord of Hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you a blessing until there is no more need.
Wow! God asks us to test Him to see if we can out-give Him. And He will pour down blessings on us. How incredible.
We continue to count our blessings, God is Good. We will continue to wait for God's perfect timing. We will continue to follow His lead wherever and whenever He chooses to take us. He will continue to pour our blessings on us. Over the years, we have come to realize that even in situations where we can't immediately see these blessings, we ALWAYS see them later.
Seven years ago yesterday was when God took our precious Isabella back to be with Him. She was never meant for this world, just to live in Heathers' belly for some time. It was hard at that time to see how that situation could possibly bless us. Now we see our three precious children growing up, and know that a fourth will be here soon, we SEE it. We have been blessed over and over again. We see the relationship that we have with our Heavenly Father and know that He used times like Isabella's death to draw us into complete dependence on Him.
Today we received an email stating that the wait times have once again been extended. We now have wait times of 10-20 months. (initially is was 4-6 months) Well, we just hit the 10 month mark, so maybe we have some ways to go. We are at the top of the list and are officially "On deck." However, we trust that God will use the waiting to continue to bless us.
