Waiting. Not my best quality. I tend to run into the impatient end of things. Ask anyone who has been around me when I'm really really hungry. Not good.
I have learned though in the last years that patiently waiting on the Lord really does bring along the BEST things! I waited for a husband until I was in my 30's. I think I have the best husband in the world. He loves the Lord with all he has and that just makes him an incredible man. I waited for children. I have been blessed to care for 3 so far with one on the way. More blessings than I ever even imagined. I waited to get "things" I wanted to follow the Lords leading and have no debt. Wow! Having a clean slate and NOTHING to hold you back is incredible. I waited for a home. God is in the midst of answering that prayer in a way that is so far beyond my own ideas that it is obviously of the Lord and He has decided to bless us in a way only God can. That story will have to wait until we sign on the dotted line.
So you see, I have seen the power of waiting on the Lord already. He is amazing and will give us the very best He has to offer if we truly are putting our whole trust in him. I have tried to rush answers and come up with scenarios that seem to be God's will but not really knowing for certain. Then I made a decision. Let HIM decide when something is right, and let Him take control. Oh the wonderful life I have had! I'm not saying there haven't been struggles or hard times...but I have been able to see God work in His way and time throughout. What more should we want in our lives that to see an active living God in our own lives?
