The Answer

The wait is over. The answer was not exactly what I wanted, but it is what God wanted. And there is ultimate peace to be found in that assurance. The fact that I am living today where He wants me at gives me peace and joy. Getting what I want, but knowing it wasn't His will would not be a good place to be.
I have so much growing to do before I am ready to be in that place. God needs to be in the number one spot in my life before stepping out in that place. Until then I stay where He has me, content in the situation He has me in, not looking too far to the future, because I know He ultimately has it.
I spread out my hands to you; my soul longs for you like a thirsty land.
