Searching for our tree of life

I was thinking the other day about what's going on in our lives right now. I have to admit, I had a pretty sour attitude. I felt like, o.k. Lord, I've endured 4 months of this, I think I've had a fairly good attitude about it, but now I'm ready for it to end. Then Jeremy called the new realtor in Florida and the guy said they are selling about one house a month down there where our house is and that just did me in. When there is hope of things getting better soon it's so much easier to keep your good attitude right? Jeremy had taken Jakob to the pool, and I just wanted to be at home and cry. I was thinking about when I was younger. Crying had a fairly large impact on my parents...Now, we come from a family of 6 women, so there was quite often someone crying, but I mean real tears, for a valid reason. Many times if something was wrong and you needed help, or encouragement, or you just couldn't help it you'd cry. Most of the times your Mom or Dad would move mountains to help you. Crying actually worked out to your advantage. Then I thought about the situation I am in now. Crying or getting angry, or getting an attitude is not going to change the plans of my heavenly Father. "Pitching a fit" with God is not going to get him to change his mind and change the course of my life right now. The thing is...God is doing what's best for me and Jeremy even in this time in our lives. No matter what God does in our lives he does it for our good, even when it comes to chastisement, trials, hardships, it is always for our benefit. I can trust God with this situation, and with all the uncertainties we have right now because I know he is a loving Father, who wants the best for us. I may not see my situation as what's best for me, but God is working a much bigger work than my here and now. As the days went on and I had more time to sit and think I had time to realize how blessed I am. I have my health. I gave birth to a healthy baby boy 10 months ago. The biggest problems we've had are a couple ear infections and a really scary looking rash. My bills are paid, even with an extra mortgage payment thrown in there. No, my situation is not what I would plan if I had control of events, but I am still blessed. Even in an "uncomfortable" situation I have more than most people in the poorest countries will ever have. So basically, I guess I'm saying that my perspective has been turned back to God and back to what is really important. Anytime I start to feel discouraged with what's going on I will remind myself of all the blessings I have and trust God that I am exactly where I'm supposed to be at this moment.
