HA! That's what I've been doing for a long time. I was about to say I'm in the middle of waiting, but then I paused and now I wonder, if we are in fact, close to the end of waiting and that is a cheering thought. Sir Rianus is in the last few months of his 'term employment' that brought us to the new realm. He was able to be renewed three times. So this is our fourth year here. We thought we were moving soon after we got here, we didn't expect to be here this long. So, after we moved out of the house we had rented, we moved into our apartment thinking we wouldn't be in the small space for long. Our children have grown significantly bigger in those 2.5 years as have the number of material possessions we have attempted to cram into our living space. And all along, we were waiting. Waiting for the next job, waiting to know whether we would stay in this small town in the desert wildnerness and you know what.....I'm STILL WAITING!!! Patience is such a hard virtue to learn when you want to simultaneously feel peaceful!
Wow, you sound like my family. We have been planning to relocate for the past 4 years, every year saying this will be our last one here, and then we end up staying :). It is tough to still be waiting for so long, but be sure God is teaching us so much through the waiting!
