Rest, Wait, and Enjoy

On the heels of a truly excruciatingly difficult summer, I have been trying to make decisions and plans for what to do next. This summer was a particularly difficult time period for Josh and Ashley - medically and emotionally. The last few months we have been living in an almost constant "let's just get through today" mode. Things seemed to have evened out and everyone is doing pretty well now. School has started back up, I'm trying to decide what is the best way for me to use my time. We are also discussing some important family decisions. I was beginning to feel stressed and unproductive, but after a lot of prayer, I have come to two conclusions.
The first is I don't have to make any important decisions today. I am choosing to follow the advice of Psalm 37:7, "Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him." I know he will reveal all the answers to me in his own time. I just need to wait. Waiting is usually not easy for me, but I am enjoying the pressure it takes off of today.
The second conclusion I have come to is to choose to be content where I am today. Philippians 4:11-13 tells us to learn to be content in every situation - good or bad- knowing that we can endure anything and everything because Christ will give us strength (if we choose to take it). So for today, I will ask Christ to give me strength and just be grateful that I know what to do. It is actually a very simple plan. I will rest, wait patiently, and be content each day until more is revealed to me. I already feel my anxiety lessening.
