Waiting "Game"
Hello pretty ladies!
This week I thought we’d talk about waiting on the Lord and His timing. Let’s be real, we all want answers to our questions: When will I graduate? What job will I have? Who will I marry? Will I be single forever? Will I have children? What grade did I get on that test? What will the doctor say? SO many questions, so little time it seems.
And then what happens when we don’t get those answers? We get frustrated, sad, disappointed, we cry, we raise our hands and scream out why God why?
The problem is that we often don’t stop and listen to what He has to say to us. I read a blog the other day that said we have to give God the OPPORTUNITY to speak. And sometimes His answer is wait. If you know me, you know I tend to be a very impatient person. However, I am trying to learn how to be patient whilst waiting on the Lord. Because in truth, His plans for me (including His timing) are way more amazing than anything I could ever dream up (and I do A LOT of daydreaming). Don’t get me wrong: waiting is HARD!!! The unknown can be scary especially if you’re trying to make a big life decision. I’m also an overthinker so not knowing the outcome of something in my future tends to cause me great anxiety, especially where my heart is involved. But we have to remember that not only does God have our best interests in mind, He also cares about the things we do. He sees our tears, our joy, our laughter, our pain, our sickness. He loves us SO much! He knows the desires of our hearts and and our inmost thoughts. He made us and we are fully known by Him.
So, all this to say that if you’re waiting on God (i’m currently in a waiting period myself), know you’re not alone and He cares for you! It’s not a game to Him; He doesn’t toy with our emotions but He does want us to fully trust Him and be patient. He wants good things for us and everything we will ever need and have will happen when He knows we’re ready for it (and/or when He’s ready for us to have it!) I pray y’all have a happy weekend!
