It has been there the whole time.

I just came upon this verse-

Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and to work with your hands... so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody. ~1 Thessalonians 4:11-12

It made me say wow, isn't that what we are trying to do? So I read it to Dad.

Dad ~ What? Read that again.

Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and to work with your hands... so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody. ~1 Thessalonians 4:11-12

Dad ~ I thought we just had a conviction about some things and thought maybe we should live in a travel trailer to help us change, but no, it's like God is standing there like 'Duh, this is part of my plan, it was there the whole time.'

It is in faith that we follow along the path that the Lord sets before us, without a road map or concrete direction. We often don't have a clue where we are going, but when we look back we can see where He has guided us. This is amazing but, with faith, it is not surprising. God is good!


Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised, and His greatness is unsearchable. ~Psalm 145:3
