Waiting is seriously the hardest thing in the world for me to do! I am not good at it. It doesn't matter if it is a response to an email, text, phone call or just an answer in general, I hate waiting! And with the recent addition to my life in the form of a crackberry, I have gotten even worse. I have spent hours waiting for that little red light to blink to tell me I have a response. In my line of work when someone needs an answer, they need it now. Tulle and flowers are a big deal people!
But, I am pretty sure my lesson over the past couple of months has been, wait on me, trust me, I am in control. For anyone who has known me longer than 5 seconds you know that none of those am I very good at. But somehow, in this season of my life God is teaching me to wait on him. Sometimes it is on the small things, but others it is on bigger things. I mentioned before that I recently moved to Houston. That was a very long series of questions all to which the answers came after prayer and waiting.
One of my favorite speakers recently said, "Waiting is not wasting when you are waiting on God. Waiting is God working." This was a hard pill for me to swallow. I am by nature a doer. I am not good at sitting around and waiting on anything. If you take more then 5 minutes to respond to a text message I am going to be annoyed at you! I am pretty sure God laughs at me about this. If I was honest I would have to admit that sometimes, I laugh at me about this.
But, for whatever reason God has called me into a season of waiting. The cool part is that in the waiting process I am learning to lean into Him. I am actually finding myself trusting Him more and asking His thoughts. Right now there are certain areas of my life where I would really love some answers. Wait! That is the answer that I keep getting. The good news is that God has brought me this far and I am pretty sure He can blow my mind if I allow him to be God in my life.
