Unsettled

Word: Unsettled
Definition: Not yet resolved

That would be how I would describe some of my feelings since coming back from furlough on the second of April. Just to clarify, it is not how I always feel but it seems to be more and more frequent.

Why is there an unsettled feeling this time around when the first year here at Beautiful Gate was one of great peace?

Is it because I was home with family and had to say goodbye again?
Is it because Grace is now back in Michigan instead of with us?
Is it because there have been some difficulties in recent months?
Is it because there is a decision hanging over us that needs to be made in regards to our future plans?
Is it because God wants to bring me to a closer dependance on Him each day?
Is it because God is stirring in me to show me His direction?

I am sensing that the unsettled feelings are a combination of all that I listed above. But maybe mainly because of the very definition of the word...."not yet resolved". We are not yet resolved in where God wants us next. Do we extend at Beautiful Gate (and for how long) or do we come home or go elsewhere?
We are praying for wisdom and open hearts and ears. For right now, we haven't heard anything.
Another prayer of mine is that I am not so distracted by the decision that is ahead that I miss what He has for me now.

But we have hope. We trust that God will lead and speak as He always has...in His time.

In the midst of all of our ups and downs in life........God is trustworthy and He calls us to rest in Him.
