How Great is the Love of Our Savior?

I came home to some not-so-good news and found my self very angry and upset. I picked up my iPod and went for a run, only to find myself sitting on the steps of the Catholic Radio station down the street having a conversation with myself and God as to why there was suddenly something/someone trying to take my dream away from me.  I  didn't run as far or for as long as I thought I would, but when I neared the house on my return trip, "How Great is the Love" by Meredith Andrews came on my iPod and it just reminded me that our God loves us so much that He would never do something to harm us nor would he give us trials that we can't handle.  What is happening with the house is not really in my control at this point and if I really want this house, which I do, I'm going to have to be willing to give in a bit.  I have to pray that God continues to bless this situation and that it works out for the best for Carey and I.

I know the devil is using this time of weakness to get to me, my prayer and petition in regards to this house has been so strong for so long, yet at the instance of struggle or imperfection, I let my anger take control and start complaining and being ugly, knowing that the person on the "other end" isn't feeling any of my hatred/dislike.  It's not remedying the situation in anyway.

I have to be strong, we have to stand our ground and continue to pray that our Lord is blessing this transaction.  It's just that in that small moment I saw myself homeless.  Perhaps we jumped the gun with things, but I just know God answered my prayers with this house and I feel now that He is reminding me that we can't forget about Him no matter what the situation is, b/c He never stops loving us and blessing us.  I just pray that the sellers of our house find compassion in their hearts and work with us, following the rules and guidelines/deadlines of the contracts that we have signed.   Following the rules should apply for everyone.

God rose from the grave to make things happen in our lives, but we must, I MUST, remain strong in my prayer and petition (thanksgiving too) in asking that everything runs smoothly over the next week and 1/2 before we move into THIS house.

The devil WILL NOT win this one.  Jesus is Lord almighty.

AMEN Lord, Amen.
