Resting

We are currently following a series in our church which encourages us to ask questions about our beliefs and our faith. The latest installment asks, "Why rest?"

We, as a family, have decided to explore the depths of this particular question.

The Jones family is resting up from our fundraising efforts and from making the home ready for our newest children as well as resting to be ready for the many needs and challenges required of us for the upcoming season of change. Although with the start of the 2008 school year, Melissa and Matt would challenge the notion that they are indeed resting.

Nevertheless...we are resting. Resting in knowing that God has just the right children for us at just the right time. Resting in knowing that He is sovereignly in control of all events that are leading us to our newest family members. And although we are tempted to be anxious in this season of waiting, we know that "He is working all things together for good" just as He has promised. God has never given us reason to doubt His faithfulness to His promises. And so we rest secure in the knowledge that His timing is perfect.
