Do NOT get Sassy with me!

Experiencing God.  We are beginning that study in my Life Group.  I did that study my 1st or 2nd year teaching.  I lived in San Antonio and the 7 realities have been a part of my life and a lot of my thinking since then,  This week in our homework we learned that God is always at work around us. We are to join Him in His work.  So as I learned this this week I went to my 1st 2 crossfit classes.  They were tough.  I loved it but hated it.  I decided I would join it and get in shape.  I would be busy while I waited.  It cost quite a bit of money, but I was going to figure it out. In my class was a lady/student named Katie.  She was wearing       T-Shirt that had an equal sign and a heart.  In this year 2014 the = sign is not a good thing. It means marriage equality, I though OK, I can do this. Lord, help me to love and wear my Christian t-shirts and in my head thought, "Really???" Fast Forward to Friday the LAST DAY OF SCHOOL!!!  I was tired and ready for summer.  I did my devotional again and this time as I was reading God showed me how He told Moses to go and although he was obedient he complained along the way. God became angry with Moses.  He told him to do something and he did it and complained along the way because he wasn't ready or equipped.  God told me to wait and I jokingly said "Sure God, I'll do what you say."  I was doing it but not in a joyful way.  God essentially said "Jennifer, If you are going to wait do it joyfully, without complaining. I am serious."  I was silent, God told me to wait joyfully. I was humbled.  Okay Lord, I will wait for you. Back to Crossfit...I was going to go back on Friday and join but I am going to wait.  I may need all of the money I can save.  I have been waiting for information about a baby girl.  I found out about her in February and CPS knew I was interested. She 5 months old then.  I was officially liscensed in April about 6-7 weeks ago but hadn't heard anything.  I was very frustrated and looked at other agencies, and spoke to people about kids they knew or pregnant women they knew.  God said wait.  In my initial classes I said it would be nice to get a child during the summer or at least at the end of the school year but, since I was waiting for this specific baby girl,  I didn't know. So yesterday I was enjoying my last day of school and praying for my friend whose boyfriend was going to break up with her.  My phone rang, it was Conroe. (Thanks iPhone) My agency called and asked to submit my home study for an 8 week old baby girl.  So now I wait again.
