Wrestling With God

27 02 2007

So when I started this adventure, Cathy was studying the patriarchs of the Bible and reminded me of Jacob wrestling with God. She encouraged me to hold on for the blessing. That seemed like a great little story about how we should wait for God. Well, that story is becoming more real, except for the blessing part. Let me break down the score for you.

Paul:
No Job
House back on market after second buyer backs out
No resources to follow other pursuits
Big Holding Pattern

God:
Being Sovereign
Being Love
Trying To Do Something With Paul’s Life

A friend recently said about his similar circumstance, “God got me into this, He can get me out.” I don’t know what is on the other side of this time and I don’t even really know if this is me wandering in the wilderness, but I do know that God is good and one day I will get His blessing. Maybe He will even change my name.
