Solace in a sunset

I have been finding the wait for a referral increasingly difficult. Today I was at a breaking point!! I know, I know there's nothing I can do about anything but wait and how could I get to a breaking point?! Well, I just felt like I couldn't handle it anymore and I don't know what I was going to do but I felt like I would die or explode -- one of those two! Then as I was driving to pick up the girls from Julia and Ella's bible school crying and feeling sorry for myself that God wasn't making things go quicker for my family, I looked at the sky and was breathless. There in the sky was the most beautiful, breathtakingly fabulous sunset I've seen in a couple years. (That's saying a lot because I'm an avid skywatcher and look at sunsets, the moon and stars everyday.) I wish I could have taken a picture because it was so gorgeous. In looking at the sunset I felt God put his arms around me and let me know that He was right there with me and that He was in complete control -- I just need to trust Him and get over myself. I had the thought that God is GOOD, He can make amazing sunsets, and He can give referrals and travel calls at His perfect time for us -- not Our perfect time for us. That sunset just calmed me and helped me feel that everything was going to pe fine. Aahh ... the feeling of peace is like no other. :)
