So, at the beginning of the year I asked my facebook friends what word they would choose to focus on for the year. There were so many good words that I decided I was going to pick 12 and have a word of the month. In hindsight, I think next year I will go with one word of the year. It's hard to really study and focus in and think about what you are trying to BE in only a month.
That said, it's amazing how drawing 12 words out of a hat and writing them in my planner has often fit with my life all year. In case you didn't think God was in the details!
Last month was Valient and honestly, I felt good. I finished up my Book of Mormon study, things were getting ready to close on the house we were trying to sell, I was feeling pretty good!
The end of the month sort of set me up for August. House didn't close on time. Had a mad dash to find car titles and get our cars registered in our new state. Our old state is still sending me notices about our car registration. ( I am hoping in the next week to have most of this sorted.) In fact, we're still waiting for the house to close. Today I found out it will probably be delayed for the 3rd time. So we have to delay closing on a new home here. I had to get a new lawn care guy, because the kid I paid to do our lawn flaked. I had to buy new tires. I found out I need new brakes and shocks - probably in the next month. My husbands computer needs a new fan.
So Patience is coming into play. All I can think of is Psalms 46:10, Be still and know that I am God
This is what comes into my mind when I want to rip out my hair and scream. All I have to do is my best and trust Him and all these things will work together for good.
