Silence
and waiting...
sound familiar?
If your answer is YES then I am here to tell you that I am in the same boat.
Trusting....delighting....praising....claiming....keeping the Faith...pushing away the worry and silencing the impatient voices of wishing I was where I desire to be have been on my daily spiritual to do list lately. The waiting can sometimes feel like an eternity....BELIEVE ME I KNOW. I've been trying to see it with positivity though. First: silence can be very beneficial....I have gotten some of my best ideas when I am just praying and talking to God. I urge you to use the silence to nurture your relationship with him. John 15:5 "I am the vine, you [are] the branches: He that abides in me, and I in him, the same brings forth much fruit: for without me you can do nothing." Second: I have been trying to prepare myself for who I need to be or what characteristics I need to exhibit, I should say, when I get to my own personal promise land. One of my favorite quotes that I live by is, "Ability may get you to the top, but it takes character to keep you there." Just to name a couple: my Faith has definitely been cultivated and my patience polished. So, whatever you're "waiting" on, take heart in knowing you aren't alone and know that I am praying with you.
Oh, and because I know you are wondering.....If you've been following this website long enough or even if you have only read the "about me" section, I bet you can guess what the number 1 thing on my wish list is....If you haven't.... well.... I'll leave it for you to decide what I'm referring to.
I love you all!
