Waiting with the Lord
This summer has hit and as the heat rises so has the activity at the church and the Thomas household. We have just finished our Vacation Bible School at the church and now we are taking VBS to the community. Each night this week we are going to one of the housing developments and having fun with the children. On the first night there were around 60 children and 20 adults. These activities are wonderful and we are certainly enjoying serving the Lord through these ministries. On top of these ministries life at the Thomas house has become a little stressful. We are only 5 weeks away from Becca Paige being born. On top of the rush to get the house and nursery ready, the last sonogram revealed a cyst attached to Becca. The problem is that we have very little information about what this could be. Needless to say we are feeling the stress of life. As we wait to find outwhat the issue with Becca really is and continue in the ministries of the church, waiting with the Lord is our only option. I don’t think we are waiting for the Lord, but rather with Him. I know he is going through this with us. He understands the uncertainty and fear we are experiencing. When the stress levels in life begin to rise, I know that we will do better by realizing we can simply wait with the Lord. He is the one who gives us strength when we are weak, encouragement when we are down, and hope when we feel hopeless. I am thankful we can wait with Him.
