Through my life I have had seasons of waiting. As a young girl I waited for school to end so I could start my adult life. As a young woman I waited for a relationship that would be the start of my family life. As a young mother I waited for my kids to grow and mature. I’ve always had a sense that I’m just a bit out of step with life. I would wait for things to fall in place. Wait for the right job, the right house, the right thing that would make it all make sense.
I then realized that maybe that isn’t what I’m truly waiting on. Maybe I’m waiting on the fulfillment of God’s promises in my life. Maybe what I’m waiting on is beyond the veil, just out of reach?
It’s ok to wait on God. He is faithful. He will meet us and walk with us slowly as we wait. He understands our impatience, our frustration, our confusion. But he also knows what he has planned and like a parent who keeps the secrets of Christmas morning, he also holds his knowledge tight. Until it is time.
So, I wait on Him. One day I will know his plan. For now it is enough to believe in Him and believe He has a plan.
Isaiah 40: 31 But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.
Lamentations 3: 22-24 Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed,
for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.
I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.”

That is so true in so many of us, Roberta! As we grow older, I think that we learn that waiting on God is really the best way to live even though sometimes we still falter!! Thanks for reminding me! 👏👏🤗🤗🥰🥰

I think you are right. Age does seem to make it a bit clearer. Well, it seems that way so far. Ha!
