She Completes Me

It's moments like yesterday's that my wife and I shared that I truly love. You'd think after all of the self-analyzing, sharing, and praying about the sale of our house (or lack of), that I would be less worried or stressed about the whole situation. But, once again, I learned something about myself thanks to my beautiful bride.
I was complaining about God abandoning us during this whole process. I know that I heard Him say to me so clearly in Honduras: "If you want to sell it, do it in honor of Me and I will answer your prayer". I have been whining and complaining now for three months because there has been absolutely no action on the house what so ever.
So, once again, I found myself sitting and discussing this with my wife. I mentioned my struggle with doing things to improve our chances of a sale. So now I'm basically bartering with God. I'll let you in on a little secret. . .God doesn't barter. In fact, He doesn't need to. You see, all of this time, I thought that He has completely backed out on His offer. "He hasn't", as my wife has pointed out so subtly. "So then why hasn't anything been happening", I ask. Then she looks at me as only she can and says, "Nick, what do you mean nothing has been happening? Look at all of the stuff He has gotten out of you. Look at how much you have been struggling and growing closer to Him through all of this. Maybe it's more about the sale of a house. Maybe it's about getting all of the crap out of your heart before He allows us to move on. It's His plan, not yours. You need to stop doing things to gain favor from Him, He loves you just the way you are."
WOW. I was speechless. She is so right. That's why I love her. That's why God has put her in my life. She truly completes me.
