God's timing

Things will come together in God's timing, if not and those dreams don't materialize I will be content with were I am at. God doesn't promise us success as the world sees it or that our dreams and desires will come to pass. He does tell us however that His grace is sufficient. We live in a very rich blessed nation. The poorest of the poor here are still rich compared to most parts of the world. We are not entitled to anything! We being children of God need to learn to be content with what we have, knowing that God will meet all our needs through Christ Jesus. As Americans we get needs and wants mixed up. Long as you have food and clothing you are doing well.  We are not promised a house, a car, a phone or any other materialistic thing.  Much of the world do without such things and they still count themselves as blessed. We are no different here we have become spoiled in our way of life, saying I need all these things, when you really don't need them at all.  They are blessings to have yes they do make our lives easier, but yet they are not a necessity.
   Would I like to have a nice house? Yes I would! Yet we do have a roof over our head, no matter what the shape of the house may be in we owe no money on it. Do we want something bigger something more efficient? Yes as I said before, but this is not guaranteed or promised by God. We will continue to work toward this, but we must remember it is in God's hands what doors He opens or closes. Many times decisions are made outside of God's will or praying to Him about the decision and when we do this things seem to fall apart over time.  God is working in our lives! From giving us opportunity to serve, to give, He has provided to us in ways He only can! He has brought healing and restoration not only in our personal lives but also in our marriage! No matter what happens down the road if He provides us with a new house or not We will praise and glorify God for what He has done in our lives! We can not look at what we don't have, for when we do we forget all things that we do have and how truly blessed we all ready are.
