Two steps forward, one step back

The past three weeks have been a period of waiting for news regarding a work project. Some times I was victorious in the waiting, but Thursday night was certainly a dark time. I received the news yesterday and felt a great deal of relief. However, the project still needs a lot of work in the upcoming two weeks.

On the one hand, I am encouraged, and on the other hand....I just feel tired. But the Lord is our strength, and he will be with me in the working as in the waiting.

Romans 8:26-28The Message (MSG)

26-28 Meanwhile, the moment we get tired in the waiting, God’s Spirit is right alongside helping us along. If we don’t know how or what to pray, it doesn’t matter. He does our praying in and for us, making prayer out of our wordless sighs, our aching groans. He knows us far better than we know ourselves, knows our pregnant condition, and keeps us present before God. That’s why we can be so sure that every detail in our lives of love for God is worked into something good.
