Oh, my. How did I get here? I sit at my desk in my office in my house and look down at the papers in front of me. Three words catch my eyes – Home Insurance Policy. There have been moments in the last 4 months that have made me stop and wonder how I got here; this is one of those moments. I have a HOME. An actual house with stuff inside that belongs to me and my husband. Wow! There’s another moment. I have a HUSBAND. I have to think about dinners and lunches and I have to go clean the shower. There are so many chores and details that go into the roles of homeowner and wife. I am a WIFE!
I can’t believe how amazing the Lord has been. And yet, I can. I know that if we listen to Him and follow His guidance and believe in His promises, then we will reap all He has offered. I have lived expectantly for 30 years, waiting to receive the rewards that come with trusting God. I see and live those rewards every day.
I've named my blog Expectantly. In looking at my life I see so much that I'm expecting. Whether it's from life or others or myself. Mostly I live expectantly waiting for God's promises to come true. The bible teaches us to live expectantly. To know that what He has promised He will deliver if we follow Him. It is, of course, a two way street; it goes from us to Him and from Him to us.
So, I’ve decided to go on an expedition of sorts to see if along the way I can manage to clearly hear His purpose for me. I guess it’s my way of letting God know that I hear him and although I’ve been dragging my feet, I’m willing to follow. I will look to Him expectantly.
