We are singing praises this time. I was not disappointed this week. If you follow my blog you have already put two and two together and know I am talking about selling Jim's mobile home.
Hope leads to praise.
So let the praises reign!
Thank you to all those that lifted us up in prayer during this time.
Never, ever, under any circumstances, doubt the power of prayer.

Disappointment
Disappointment is the worst. I'm pretty sure it is the thing I like least, I am even going to venture to use the word hate here. I hate disappointment.
No so much disappointing others, but being disappointed. I will even lower my expectations of things just to avoid disappointment. And when my expectations are exceeded it is awesome, if they are not, no harm.
However, I feel God calls us to expectation. We are to expect for Him to do what He says He will. But being human that is hard. People and things of this world will always disappoint---they aren't perfect, they aren't God.
So lately this disappointment has come in the form of selling Jim's mobile home he was living in. We get calls or e-mails that someone is interested, I get my hopes up, and they decide they aren't interested after seeing it. Bummer. Disappointment.
Hope.
I am learning as much as I hate disappointment, ultimately it shows me God's greatness. How even though things of the world fail, God is still constant. God is still in control. God's glory will be shown. God will make it all work out.
And that is where I find myself right now. I am putting my hope and trust in God. I know He will take care of us in this situation. And so I will not allow disappointment to win.
Because Hope wins.
