A Gentle Reminder

We are currently on day 18 of a 2-6 week waiting period for our Travel Approval. And as if it weren't already obvious...I don't enjoy waiting.

Which is why this morning, I was gently reminded on Whom rather than on what we are waiting.
This morning I was reading this in my Bible:
He sends his command to the earth;
His word runs swiftly.
He spreads the snow like wool
and scatters the frost like ashes.
He hurls down his hail like pebbles.
Who can withstand his icy blast?
He sends his word and melts them;
He stirs up his breezes , and the waters flow...(from Psalm 147)
As I was observing this outside my window:

The snow came all in accordance with His word. So did our referral, our RA, and so will our TA. And so will the moment when that sweet little girl is in our arms. But until then we wait.
No, I don't enjoy waiting one little bit...but I do enjoy Him and am glad that He is in control of it all.
"Great is our Lord and mighty in power; his understanding has no limit." Psalm 147:5
