The work permit took a lot longer than expected. It is currently being processed and the new fly-out date is July 5th. We never anticipated the time it would take to get ready for this trip. Even though we are excited to get going it has been a blessing to have the extra time for preparations.
Anxiousness is not what God wants us to have. I admit that I began to become very anxious. There is a huge difference between calmly waiting (serenity) and anxiously waiting (earnestly desirous or eager). For now, I have learned to be content with where I am at while looking forward to the time we go to Ireland.
Thank you Lord for teaching what anxiousness really is and why it's not a good thing to have in your soul. Hopefully I have learned and I don't have to be reminded over and over again.
Verse for today:
Philippians 4:6
do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
