“For the vision is yet for an appointed time, But at the end it shall speak, and not lie: Though it tarry—wait for it; Because it will surely come, it will not tarry.”—Habakkuk 2:3
Ladies I was just asking my Beloved Husband to remind me of an occurrence where I waited and was trusting Him for something but needed to wait. He reminded me of it today as I sat praising and thanking Him for my Domestic Helper and I remembered another one too. The reason I asked Him to help me remember is because I am busy doing the Moving Mountains Course and the title for chapter 11 is "Tarry".
So let me tell you about my domestic helper. I have been asking Him for many, many years for a domestic helper... Even though I am a W@H there is still not enough time in the day to get to the deep cleaning I desperately need done! I gave up and stopped asking Him and that is when an older woman who is a domestic for a retired couple down the road approached me as I came home to ask me if I needed someone!
Something else I was trusting and praying for is a dining room table and chairs which I prayed for and the funny thing is that I just could not understand why I was waiting so long, it did not make sense to me because I know that it says God would supply all my need according to His riches in glory. I guess He wanted us to have the perfect one for our family which we enjoy today.
Those are 2 of the smaller things, let me share with you some of the big things He reminded me of 🙂 This I'm excited to share with you!
I remember when I started reading about the W@H book on the blog and started understanding that I could trust my Beloved to become a W@H. I remember standing at my desk in my little cubicle and I said to Him that I had absolutely no idea HOW??? we would get by without my salary because I would love to be a W@H, to be there for my kids. It did not happen right away and there were many things that happened that led me to become a W@H... resigning my job to move to a new city... my Beloved needed to work in my EH's heart to see all the benefits of me being a W@H, so many thing that took so much time... But He did answer my prayer in the end.
Oh my!! Yes! Another thing that I literally waited 20 YEARS for that He reminded me of now is getting my drivers license at a much older age. I was in my twenties when I 1st started taking driving lessons and went for my 1st drivers test which I failed!! I failed a couple more times.. and then after we moved I tried again in the new town we moved to and failed twice more before I got my license on the 3rd try!! My Love kept telling me not to give up and even let me read the parable of the persistent widow to not give up.
"And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off?" L18:7 https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke%2018%3A1-8&version=NIV;KJV;AMP
There is still many more things that I am trusting Him for... Salvation of family members, my younger brother addiction free. I have also been praying for a long time for us to move to a new place. All these thing I now know to wait upon the Lord because He has an appointed time and that it will be worth the wait!!
Thank you Atarah for sharing how HH came through for you in so many areas, although you had to wait. I also found a domestic worker to help me once a week to deep clean, after years of cleaning my own house and what a blessing! I still do “clean sweeps” (https://hopeatlast.com/c3/w-h/chapter-3-making-the-most-of-your-steps-clean-your-messy-house-in-minutes/) during the week.
Like you trusted Him for your dining room set, I had to trust Him for new bedroom furniture and a mattress. And after 4yrs of trusting Him, I now have a new headboard and pedestals and mattress.
Now I have to trust Him to buy my daughter a new bed, I shared previously how my daughter’s sleigh bed that I bought when she started to sleep in her own bed, got damaged during the move and my friend’s husband fixed it. But the other day the bed frame fell apart (the original part that was not fixed) as I tried to move it to sweep underneath the bed. I managed to put it back together, but in the process, I bumped and scratched the frame a lot because it’s heavy, and I could see the brackets are also damaged. But I am trusting my HH and her HF to bless her double for the damage to her bed.
Aaaaah oh no Adina I’m sad to hear your daughters beautiful sleigh bed fell apart… But! Her HF must want to really bless her double!! Hahaha Adina now I’m trusting for bedrooms sets… I say sets because I would like to get for my room and my daughters room and the other room my mom will come stay in but I know He has it all under control in His perfect timing and He will provide too! For many many years trusting Him to make my home beautiful was not even a thing!! I just settled for less… that’s also a lesson on L@L https://loveatlast.org/fc/poverty-mentality/chapter-10-dont-settle-for-less/. Now it’s such a blessing to know He will provide and take care of it too and that He knows the desires of our hearts and wants to bless us in His perfect timing 🙂
I knew when the bed got fixed it would be a temporary solution, but I didn’t realize the extend of the damage. It was bit sad to realize her big girl bed is ruined. But my HH showed me that when He blesses her with a new mattress and base set, the headboard can still be used as a headboard, just have to remove the footboard and the frame keeping it together. That way she can have a new bed, but with a part of her first big girl bed.
He will provide, we just have to trust and wait again, knowing He will give us His best at the right time!
Atarah loved this praise! I am learning to drive and you and your testimonies are my motivation!! I keep repeating to myself, that He blessed you and He will bless me as well!! It is amazing to see our prayers becoming a reality and having the assurance that on His perfect timing He will bless us beyound our dreams!
Yay Isabella!!! I’m so glad!! I always felt like such a failure when I used to see so many young people getting their license and I was still struggling to get mine… But now I’m so glad that I can encourage so many women and I know you will too Isabella!! Truly it is amazing see so many answers to prayer when you look around.
Atarah’s testimony is amazing my dear Isabella, and He will do it for you as well.
