While I was going through that season of pain and
confusion Asher was on the other side of the world, trusting God who was
unfolding the opportunity for Asher to remain in India and work in the boys
home and school that his parents started. He had plans of starting a business with
his Engineering degree but God made it clear to him that he was meant to stay and
work with his parents. For that year he made a pledge to God that he wouldn't
consider entering into a relationship with someone, even if the perfect one
came. He wanted to give that year to complete focus on God. As that year was
wrapping up he felt a sense from God that his wife was coming at the beginning
of that next year, 2011.
This is why I love our
story because in the midst of our most confusing and difficult seasons, God was
working. We couldn't see Him working, we questioned his concern for our lives,
but he was very active through the entire process. He is always active, always
working. Always concerned and always in love with us, feeling our pain and
seeing the light that we sometimes just can't see. This is why it's important
to listen to him and to ask to see things the way he does, to meditate on the
good not on the unknown. To cling to trust, not to our own plans and desires.
