In the midst of the mess, keep seeking the Lord

My life has been pretty messy these past several months.

• Our move to Washougal.

• Getting our house on the market.

• Finding a house in Washougal.

• College tuition, taxes, and three cars broke down in one week.

• Still dealing with an overwhelming loss of the pastorate and our church family.

The Lord spoke to me through his word a couple of weeks ago.

II Chron. 20:12 - “We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on you.” My interpretation: Amid the mess, keep seeking the Lord.

I remember at one point in Spokane while I was busy getting the house on the market, I told the Lord... “I can’t do this. It is all so overwhelming.” The Lord spoke to me and said, “just walk with me.”

• I kept seeking the Lord amid the mess. When I did not know what to do, I kept my eyes on the Lord.

• We put our house on the market, bought another house in Washougal moved within a month into our new home.

• We still haven’t sold our other house, we are still paying college tuition, and the taxes have not gone away. At times I panic, but then I reflect on the Lord’s message to me. “Just walk with me.” and I reflect on the verse... “We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on you.”

So, let me encourage you that in the midst of the mess: keep seeking the Lord.
