Dear Mary,
I was just thinking of you and trying to find the scripture I was looking for, for you when you posted here. I am responding to also your other post about needing confirmation. I feel your frustration and I am sorry for your suffering.
I can understand your feelings and position, I too have been there. But you can be sure that His timing is perfect even though it is hard to see it at the time. We can be sure that He is at work; putting things in order on our behalf. Sometimes other things have to take place first and sometimes He has to change and prepare us before we are moved. The most important thing to do is be patient and trust Him. It's when we try to help Him, trying to make things move faster that we have the most regrets.
Sometimes we can be so fixed and focused on wanting out of a situation or to move to the next stage that we can mix what we are to do at the moment. Live for Him and learn from Him in every situation.
Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things no seen! Therefore true faith takes patience and trust in the Lord; regardless of how things appear or how long it seems to take for Him to move us... but keep believing.
“Whom have I in heaven but You? And there is none upon earth that I desire besides You. My flesh and my heart fail; But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.” Psalm 73:25-26
But those who wait on the LORD Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint. Isaiah 40:31
Hebrews 12:12 Therefore strengthen the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees, 13 and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be dislocated, but rather be healed.
James 1:2 My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials,
3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. 4 But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.
Anyway, sorry I could not help more but keep your chin up, give Him your pains and just absorb His never ending love and comfort.
Don't forget to stop and smell the roses and see the beauty around and if you do not see this, make some

... shine in the Light of Christ wherever you go! Do not listen to the lies of the enemy and allow the enemy to put a wedge between you and your husband, steal your joy and convince you that you are being held back... wait on His timing and it will work out exactly as it is meant to be. Sometimes we do not see this until hindsight. Know He has a plan for you guys!
Wait on the LORD; Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the LORD! Psalm 27:14
Lord, bless, strengthen and encourage Mary and fill her heart so full of your love and comfort that it cannot be contained and overflows. Amen. I will be praying for you and your family! Be encouraged and know that His wisdom does not compare to man's and His plan and will is perfect for you! God bless you and your family
