2nd Kings 5

Hi everyone! I know it has been a while since I've posted a blog entree, we have been super busy. But life is back in regular routine so I hope to start putting out a new post every week.
 The countdown has begun!! We officially have 11 months until we move to Portland! AHH! It has been so amazing to see how God's hand has already been moving and providing.

God spoke to me yesterday through a story in 2nd Kings 5. The story is about a great army commander and warrior named Naaman. Naaman had leprosy and needed a healing. Someone told him of a prophet named Elisha who God had given the ability to do miracles. So Naaman went to go see the prophet Elisha. When he arrives at Elisha's house Elisha tells Naaman in vs.10 "Go wash yourself seven times in the Jordan river and you will be healed." now this made Naaman angry and in vs. 11 he responds..."I thought he would surely come out to me and stand and call on the name of the Lord his God, wave his hand over the spot and cure me of my leprosy."
I think this story is so funny. How often do we do this!? We have an idea or expectation on how God should move in our lives and when he doesn't do it the way we thought he would it totally freaks us out! The story goes on and Naaman is obedient and washes himself in the river and he is healed of his leprosy.

Today you may be going through something and are having a hard time seeing God in the situation. Know that he may just be working in a different way then you anticipated. Stay obedient and you will see God come through.
