Confidence blown!

Over the past couple of weeks several things have hit my confidence. This has caused me to doubt the value of my words and stopped me from putting my thoughts to screen and blogging.

Slowly God has been reminding me of the promises of his word.

Jacqueline and I had spent some time looking at God's promises to us and realising the worth of knowing God's word in order to fight the lies of Satan. God's word is most certainly our strongest weapon against the deceiver. As we read and absorb God's promises to us we realise what a faithful and loving Father we have.

Deut 32:4 states

He is the Rock, his works are perfect,

and all his ways are just.

A faithful God who does no wrong,

upright and just is he.

All of God's promises to us are true and eternal. We love and worship an unchanging God who is incapable of lying. This gives us a security for living in confidence of who we are.

But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood,

a holy nation, a people belonging to God,

that you may declare the praises of him

who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.

(1 Peter 2:9)

We need to be speaking out these words both to ourselves and to others as a statement as confirmation of who we are in order that we build up ourselves and those around us.

On the Move

Today, Ian and I have spent most of the morning and afternoon driving around villages looking for somewhere to live. We're now both settled on a particular village and interstingly found that all the properties available there we liked, yet the dozen we found from elsewhere we didn't like!

Sadly we got home too late to take a call from our own estate agents asking if someone could view. Hopefully they are interested enough to try again tomorrow.

It's a difficult time... do you sit at home all day, not daring to go out in case you miss a call? or do you carry on with normal life and hope potential vendors accept you are busy people?

We're hopeful that God has a good home planned and prepared for us and in return there are good people being prepared to take over our present home.

It's an exciting and interesting time! Added to the trial of job hunting...

I can't wait to see what else God has in store for our lives!
