Waiting is a huge theme in scripture.
Seems as though God wants us to wait on him for most everything we do.
That can be tough especially when we don’t really hear God speaking in an audible voice to us.
He speaks through us in many ways through fellow believers, and mostly through his written Word.
That is of big importance for us as we learn to grow, and understand the “voice” of God.
Psalm 27:13-14 have some good thoughts on waiting, they say “I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord In the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; Be strong and let your heart take courage; Yes, wait for the Lord.
We are in a waiting process right now in the Sewell home. We have much ahead and must wait on things to happen. Many of those things we can not control. First is the birth of our 2nd child. We do not know when that will happen. Amanda is due July 12th, and we have been waiting for this child to enter the world for almost 9 months now. And so we must wait upon that… That can be rather frustrating, but we realize there is not much we can do to make this baby come early (aside from trotting her on a horse, or going for a drive down a dirt road).
We are back in LaGrange now waiting on that child (look for pictures to come soon). And also waiting on our departure to Canada. We are still a bit short of the final funds we need before we can go, but we are praying and hoping that will be sometime in early September that we can leave. We praise the Lord as our fellow team members have already arrived in BC, and so we are thankful for that, and look forward to joining them soon.
Thanks so much for your prayers for our family.
Ruth was born July 27th, 2007. It was a good day, we went down to Cheyenne for a check-up (before we had stopped for free pancakes since it was Frontier Days they serve them in the morning), and when we got to the Doctor's office, he told us we were dilated 7cm, so we rushed over to the hospital, and about 11:15 am Amanda's water broke, then by 1:06 pm (Mountain time) Ruth entered our world. All is well with both Amanda and Ruth (Amanda did lose a little to much blood, but should be just fine). We are blessed to have some grandparents here to watch Abigail. And to have family there for Ruth's birth.
