"Wait Training"

Do you ever feel like you are in the midst of some sort of "training" by God? Training is only suppose to make us stronger in and through things...right? Tripp and I have been in what I've started calling "wait training." Tripp and I put on offer on a home at the end of March on a house that was a "short sale." Believe it or not, the owners bank has yet to sign off on our contract. We have heard everything from they haven't received the paperwork yet to they should be signing off on it by the end of this week. Now keep in mind that that was said about 2 1/2 months ago. We truly feel like this house is what God is wanting for our family so we've just been trusting in Him that He is working out the timing of it all. We don't understand why it's taken this long BUT what I do know is that my God is in control of the situation. Have I grown tired of waiting...ABSOLUTELY!!! I will not lie about that. And honestly, I'd love to speak with the person who came up with the term "short sale." This "short sale" has not been so short. None of the process or waiting makes any sense to me BUT I know that God laid this on our hearts and we will continue to "wait train" with our God. Now what all of you don't know is this...the house we live in now is up for lease which means that at any moment we could be asked to pack up and leave. Our lease officially ends July 1st. We've had many offers to move in with people which has been overwhelming BUT I also am taking care of 7 kiddos this summer who would be coming along for the ride with us. Making it hard for me to agree to move in with anybody. This could become our only option. This song I've posted with this post has become very dear to me through all of this. The "wait training" has been overwhelming, hard, frustration and sometimes lonely BUT I know who has it already written out where we are suppose to live and I will continue to praise him through all of this. I hope if you find yourself or your family in "wait training" that you feel the love, support, encouragement and faithfulness of our Father. May God guide you and bless you and your family.
