I think there are some lessons that God has been trying to teach me over the past few months, namely, to trust Him and stop trying to control everything and consequently to have peace and joy in the midst of stressful circumstances.

Unfortunately, these were lessons that I did not learn.  Buying our house was certainly a stressful ordeal.  Things weren’t as smooth as I would have liked.  Near the end of the process I realized that God was probably trying to teach me not to worry, to trust Him, and yet even after I realized this, I still worried, I still got stressed, and I failed to trust.

Sometimes I’m so dense.
