It's no secret that I struggle daily with patience. I'm not good at waiting. I like things to be done now, the second I make the decision, as in yesterday.
It seems like we are always "waiting" for something… a boyfriend, a proposal, a dream job, graduation, a baby, a promotion. When I saw this quote a few days ago it punched me right in the gut. I'm pretty sure it was made for me. You see, I've been struggling lately with waiting on God. I know His plan is the best plan, but sometimes I wonder why He can't just hurry up a little.
After reading this quote I took a step back and decided to truly embrace this season of "waiting". Whatever it is you are waiting for, I pray that we find patience and trust that His timing is the best timing. I pray that I can be happy and content in the "now" instead of when I have a bigger house, when I make more money, when I have a baby, when I make more friends, when I lose 10 lbs, when my closet looks like Pinterest, etc. etc. Let's make the best of today, because we aren't promised tomorrow!
"Those who wait for the Lord will gain new strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run and now grow tired. They will walk and not faint." -Isaiah 40:31
"He has made everything beautiful in its time." -Ecclesiastes 3:11
So true girl! It's so hard not to wait for something else or something better to come along but being appreciative of what we have now and living in the moment is so important! <3, Pamela Sequins & Sea Breezes
ReplyDeleteYes yes yes. So many yeses. Thank you for sharing this today girl--it's always good to have this reminder!
ReplyDeleteLiving in a constant state of what's next is hard - love this reminder! xo, Biana -BlovedBoston
ReplyDeleteSo true, so true, lady! When you get worried 'waiting for the next stage' you miss how beautiful a stage you are in at the moment. God's time will happen when it should, we all just need to embrace it!
ReplyDeleteI have been feeling the same way lately! What has been keeping me sane and reminding me to turn to the Word is Lara Casey's periscopes on Powersheets and her reminder that when we plant seeds, they do a lot of ripening and growing in the darkness of the soil. They even break their shell before they even reach through the soil. So I keep praying for lots of growth and patience in this time of His waiting.

Amen!!! It's SO HARD to wait but the Lord's plans are always better than ours. When looking back at our periods of waiting, He has always provided and I couldn't have been more thankful that His timing came through and not my own. Keep your eyes on God and He'll satisfy your every need (even if it's a little later than you thought)
ReplyDeleteYes! Sigh. I am so not a patient person either. Thanks for sharing this!!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great post with perspective I think many of us forget to have a lot of the time. Thanks for the reminder to enjoy the now!
ReplyDeleteThis definitely strikes close to home for me girl. As I have realtor.com up and I'm pouring over houses thinking about that next step. Every time we try to have control and force things to happen that reminder of being patient and having faith reminds us right?
ReplyDeleteI am in the exact same boat! It's frustrating to be waiting knowing what we want to do but we often don't realize the gift in waiting on God's timing. This definitely hit home and was something I needed to hear. :)
ReplyDeleteI love this!!! Thanks for sharing - I keep remaining myself that I can't control everything and to just let it be...
ReplyDeleteI've been in a very long season of waiting, actually posted on this last week. God has nothing but good for us in the waiting. I can promise anyone that. Thanks so much for sharing...nice to find your blog! :)
ReplyDeleteso well said, beauty!!! i am not patient, either. i hate waiting. but i am continually blown away at how perfect God's timing is!!
ReplyDeletePerfect and beautiful! xo, Champagne&Suburbs
ReplyDeleteThis is something I struggle with too. I take such comfort in knowing that He has a perfect plan for me, but sometimes I can't help myself from asking "what's next?" or "how will this turn out?" I'm not supposed to ask, I'm supposed to have faith, and this little reminder was right on time!
ReplyDeletePatience is key babe. i love you xo
ReplyDeleteThis is something I've always struggled with. I am always trying to remind myself that things will happen in His time. It's easier said than done though to have patience!

ReplyDeleteI got my ex husband back to me and also got fertile and gave birth to twin girls after 12 years of marriage.
When I came online last year, I saw a testimony about Doctor ODUNGA and how he has been helping people with marriage issues and I decided to contact him. We spoke on email at odungaspelltemple@gmail. com and later he gave me his WhatsApp number which is +2348167159012. He assured me he would help me get my ex husband back after 3 years of no contact. Doctor Odunga is the best spell caster I must say. My husband called me after 24 hours of contact. The third day, I received natural herbs for fertility and after using it, I became fertile and conceived. I and my husband reconnected, had sex and I was pregnant. Presently I am happy to say I am the mother of twin girls and this is ALL THANKS TO DOCTOR ODUNGA. I came online to say this If you need help, I believe you are saved with this man. Contact his email at odungaspelltemple@gmail. com OR Whats App/Call +2348167159012 and you too will give a testimony too to help others
