Abraham's impatience between the time of his dream for an heir and its fulfillment brought about Ishmael. Many times in our lives we try to work out God's plan in our own way and in our own time. The dream is still good and still God's plan for us, but we end up tainting it with our ideas of how it should be worked out. Let's decide to trust God and be patient. His time and His way is perfect. Though we may not always enjoy the path, His ways are higher than ours and are perfect.

Easter Trilogy Week 2
We finished week two of our Easter Trilogy yesterday. You can go to concordfa.com to view the production. Yesterday's theme was a Life of Dreams. We portrayed the life of Joseph and how God worked out the dreams in his life. Pastor Rick gave some awesome exhortation on how we need to remain faithful during the time between the inspiration of our dreams and the fulfillment of them. Too many times God's plan is thwarted because of our impatience.

Steve,
You have done a tremendous job arranging the music for instrumentals! You are truly utilizing the gifts that God has given you, and you are obviously laboring for the Lord.
Thanks for your work at First Assembly, and thanks too for doing this blog. I love checking in to see what is on your mind, and what you are writing about. Some real good reminders, and insights!
Now - back on topic... Patience is probably one of the hardest things for some of us to learn.. and in today's society of instant gratification, it is a trait that is becoming more and more scarce.
Waiting on God, hearing His voice. It reminds me of another Blog that is brand new, and I am going to be following closely. My father has just started a blog called Invest In Faith. His first real post was about hearing God's voice and journalling.
Thanks
