Where is our Canaan?
This morning my devotion took me to 2 Timothy 1:7 'for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control'. And it talked about opportunities to step outside of our comfort zone. I think I mentioned in a previous blog that the week before the things started with husby's job that we had been talking about our garden and jobs that needed to be done around our house, we were in a comfortable place in our lives. And then life was turned upside-down with the possibility of moving. My prayer is that we will allow the Lord to take us where He wants us, even if it's out of our comfort zone.
We're still unsure of what God is having us do, but husby's had several interviews and one job offer so far. He turned down the one offer after much prayer and talk between us. Although we liked the location and it would have been a little closer to my mom but further from his mom and sister. We felt that at this time we needed to stay closer to all members of our extended family, due to health problems. Husby had an interview yesterday which would be closer to his mom, sister, and my mom. The job was actually located only about 15 minutes from his sister's house. I'll admit that at first I had some reservations about the job and being so close to his sister. But after being there yesterday it was a little exciting to think about being so much closer to family again. I still don't know about the job, but he seemed to like what he found out about it. I think my biggest reservation came from the fact that I had a nightmare about it. Of course he hasn't been offered the job, we don't know if it will be offered to him, or if he will accept if it is offered. But God knows where our Canaan is located all we have to do is trust Him to lead us there. He is always faithful even when we are unfaithful.
