Seasons of Waiting

Seasons of Waiting

Comments 0 Comment

Church was good. The message was good. Overall, the day was good. So, why do I feel like something is missing? Like I have been just going through the motions today.

I think this is my season of waiting. Spring is coming, and I seem to always go through this period (season) of transition during this time. I know it. I expect it. And it still feels like it’s catching my spirit off guard. I know that God is good, and I know that He knows exactly what He is doing. I don’t question that. 

What I question though is why I can’t seem to embrace these seasons. 

Why does it take me so long to get it? I know that growing takes time. I know that as I go through these seasons, God is growing me in the direction that He wants me to go. Yet, I am still so frustrated with the process.

The good thing is that God knows that, and He has even made provisions for it. `

He knows that even though I don’t like it, that I get frustrated, that everything seems magnified during these times…I will still serve Him. I will still show up. I will still look for ways to be a blessing, because I love Him, and I know in my heart that this too shall pass. 

God’s word in Galatians 6:9 says, “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” I trust that word. I stand on that word. I believe God honors that word. I just have to keep honoring mine…even in these seasons of transition.

Until next time…

Be blessed

So, yesterday I let my emotions get in the way. I let someone else’s mental issues take me to a place I thought I had overcome. Then I spent all day, and half the night going over it again and again in my head. It affected my whole day…and my sleep that night. THAT made me even angrier. 

Ughhhh…the battle in our mind is a real thing.

At the beginning of the year I told you guys that my goal was to pursue peace. I knew when I said it that the enemy was going to get busy. I knew it. And I still felt blindsided. 

But let me tell you how awesome our God is. He will send people, or arrange situations to speak to our circumstances. The message at service today was on waiting, and it blessed my socks off. What my pastor said was while we wait for God to move we should pray, study the word of God, and work. 

Pray. Talk to God about everything.

Study His word so that you know Him intimately.

Work. Find the thing you are passionate about, and do it to the glory of God.

We don’t have to do anything except trust Him to handle it. Last week I talked about how God will use the dirt people throw at us to elevate us. If I stay faithful, He will handle whatever needs to be handled. I lost my focus for a moment, and my flesh took control. The thing is…God didn’t leave me like that. He gave me time and opportunity to get my focus back. 

My goal is to honor Him by not dishonoring Him.

Thank you God for loving me enough to come when I call, and for letting me know that no mistake I make will ever come between us.

Until next time…

Be blessed
