"Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the Lord." -psalm 27:14
We are in a world full of instants. The microwave, McDonalds, cell phones, cars, internet, etc etc. when something breaks, we buy a new one. So when we have a problem, we in a way want instant results. But in reality....things take time. Coming back from an injury, driving after a car accident, hurting someones feelings, waiting in lines, relationships, ect ect, it all takes time and patience.
I want to pass my exam. I want to drive in the snow and not freak out. I want to be in relationship with someone who loves me. I want to know where I'm going. I want to know who will live with my when i graduate. I want I want I want...I just want to know. But I cant have instant results......
Wouldn't it be nice to have instant results to all the wants and needs and stuff? And skip though all the struggle, all the times we trip and fall? sometimes wish i could push fast forward on a lot of things just so I know i'll be ok...graduate, get a job, have a relationship/marriage, ect. But I know I cant. When I think about stuff like that, I'm focusing more on my agenda, rather than God's.
its hard to wait. but I gotta just have patience...and trust that there is a reason why I'm waiting. I may not know my path, but God does. And He will show me. He knows me better than I do, and He knows I'm not ready for or ready to know. He'll bring me answers when the time is ready. I just need to have patience, and enjoy the ride.
God will show me the way, He will not fail me. "I will never fail you. I will never forsake you." -Hebrews 13:5
So for now, I pray for patience...that I dont get discouraged as I wait for all the answers God brings me when I'm ready. Im glad I've been reminded...

ugh...isn't that the worst?
i feel like this all the time...it sucks because in those situations i ask God to reveal his plans to me, but he won't and then i get mad...like "hello God, i am asking you straight up what your plan is and you aren't showing me"...the concept of 'wait and see' never really registers. :)
i think you're beautiful michelle and i pray that you can find peace with or without the answers, but just being sure that God has it all worked out!
