We definitely prayed! And secondly, we sought out wise counsel, but not too much. In other words, we're really careful about listening or taking too much outside advice. We tend to wait on the Lord! I must tell you that something BIG happened over the weekend with all that we've been going through. It was totally prayer and seeking the Lord on totally in how it worked out. It is extremely hard to be still....and know that God is there! But....HE is there and if we are still long enough, we find this out a whole lot faster in EVERY situation. Sorry to ramble on. Not sure it helped ya. In any case, continue seeking him on this big decision ahead and I know without a doubt...He will meet you in the middle!Daphinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17401566362778946134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-254550752888160063.post-49584710323798602112009-02-26T21:33:00.000-05:002009-02-26T21:33:00.000-05:00So interesting because that particular verse has b...So interesting because that particular verse has been running through my head for about a week now.

But all we CAN do is to Be Still..."be anxious for nothing but with all prayer and supplication make your requestsbe made known to God". I'm with you girl.

We do the same thing, lists, pray, seek counsel, and wait, try to not worry, try to figure it all out logically, try to listen for or feel God to steer us in the right direction, feeling peace makes us feel good about the decision, we're going through another decision process right now too, I'll say a prayer for you! We've thought too, that it's more difficult when there is not a clear cut answer but as long as God is at the head of the decision wherever it might take you, then either one can be the right one :)Naturally Caffeinated Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00365384111940970269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-254550752888160063.post-69836713056901406212009-02-26T16:50:00.000-05:002009-02-26T16:50:00.000-05:00I love that verse!

Hero and I us...Being still is a good start indeed. Hero and I use Prov. 3:5,6 constantly. We learned the hard way, in ALL our ways, to acknowledge Him, and He will direct our path. And, we have learned to "let the peace of Christ" rule in our hearts. This does take time. It takes being still. It takes trusting Him... and making sure we've acknowledged Him in the whole thing, turning it over to Him. And we pay close attention to our peace, or lack thereof. We've discovered that if we start turning in the wrong direction, we lose our peace...get sort of an "inner screeching of brakes." In time, it comes clear. We also ask for confirmation(s). He is faithful. May He bless you as you learn His direction.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-254550752888160063.post-45495282249333893742009-02-26T14:23:00.000-05:002009-02-26T14:23:00.000-05:00It sounds like you are doing exactly what you shou...It sounds like you are doing exactly what you should be doing.
