I can't believe I'm actually going to say this, but today I'm thankful for...waiting??
Not something we typically associate with being thankful for is it?
God is continually showing me that His plan, His timing, His ways are wwaaayy out of my hands. I feel like He's telling me that in the waiting, He is taking care of things beyond my control...things that I don't even know about and can't comprehend in my little head. My job in the waiting is to rest in Him, continue to trust in Him and to serve Him. I'm not to give up and not do anything just because I'm tired of waiting. There's still work to be done for Him...people that still need to hear and see God's love shown to them every day.
Over the last 18 months there's been alot of waiting...for paperwork to process and approvals granted...a house to sell...support to raise...constant transition...all the while, in the waiting, there's hopefully been growth. My patience continues to be tested, but in that my faith in Him increases as I wait and see what He does.
I will never have this waiting thing figured out and I assure you I will never be the most patient person in the world. I can only pray that as I wait, He continues to grow me into the person I'm supposed to be.
