Psalm 27:14 (NIV)
Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart
and wait for the LORD.
I've been sort of working on a weekend retreat for married couples for a year. Not continually or even frequently but I had the first thought about a year ago. I found out who would facilitate it. Someone volunteered to help with meals. Several people reinforced the idea by saying they'd participate if they could. I found a place to have it. I didn't get in a hurry......until it was time to do it.
Then I had to wait....and wait...and wait. It takes money to do this, money I don't have to give away so I had to wait ...and wait....and wait....to see if there would be enough people willing to pay for this ahead of time so that it would be paid for. The facilitator and the lodging are both going above and beyond to be patient. The meal planner is doing the same.
I had decided that if we didn't have 8 couples, we'd have to cancel - due to the cost. Then I found out that we could actually squeak by with 5 couples. On the last day, I got enough reservations to say it is a go....with 6 couples, and verbal commitments for another 2 couples. Isn't that amazing?
He (God) put everything else together. I don't know why I had any doubt that he'd get the couples together also. I don't know why I keep having to be reminded to Wait for the Lord, be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord. But I do have to be reminded.
Thank you God for your patience.
