This has been an on-going theme in my own life. I have had to learn how to let God provide in His way and in His time....
case in point:
10 years ago we joined a church and stood to be saved. When the service was over, an old man approached my husband to start a discipleship with him. During the time my usnand spent with this older mand the idea was introduced for my husband to begin a ministry helping young teen aged boys. Now 10 years later, my husband works as a youth counselor with Teen aged boys who are in trouble with the law or whose parents are in trouble and have no place to go. Ten years ago, the Lord revealed his will for my husbands life through this older man and now it has come to pass. My husband is working in a field where he has succeeded and blossomed. His work in fullfilling and requires alot from him. God works all things out for his own good. He's got a plan...sometimes I wish he'd let me see the blueprints once in a while...
