Dealing with Disappointment

So we are not getting to move this weekend. The inspection that was scheduled to be done on Wednesday still has not happened. This is sad and disappointing. This house process feels like it has been going on forever and a day. But the one thing God is reiterating to me over and over is that He is in control and that even this house is in His hands. It is a gift from Him to even be given the responsibility to own a home. So we count it all joy and learn how to keep going in the midst of frustrations. It has been such a helpful reminder to remember what all Jesus suffered for me when little things like this get me upset. It's all perspective. God uses all things to bring Him glory and for my good. He will do/allow what it takes to make us more like His Son, Jesus Christ, even if it makes us uncomfortable or brings pain. This is good.
