Sometimes I'm so silly. I tend to be an impatient person and waiting is not my forte. I'd rather stick nails in my eyeballs then wait in line at the grocery store. I've contemplated ramming my cart into the butt of the lady in front of me at times. You know the one... the one who took 35 items into the 15 items or less line and then has to search through her coupons AT the register instead of having them ready before hand...if I'm really lucky she has a screaming child begging for the candy that's surrounding us on all sides (thanks grocery stores everywhere for this brilliant marketing plan...we parents just can't wait for that portion of the shopping trip.)
If I'm impatient in the midst of a little shopping trip, you can imagine what a bitch I can be when I have to wait for things that are really important...like medical results, checks in the mail, houses selling and figuring out what I'm supposed to be doing with the rest of my life. I'm there right now...hanging in the balance of a lot of "not knowing". I read this verse the other day:
Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD. Psalm 27:14
I'm pretty sure that God had David write this specifically for me. (nevermind the several thousand year delay in getting to the right person) Notice how he repeats the phrase "wait for the LORD"? Apparently some of
us I need the extra emphasis. So I'm trying this "being strong and taking heart" thing...I've been throwing up "help!" prayers several times an hour and I think it might be working a little. The bitch level is definitely lower than usual but I'm still searching everywhere for a sign...something that will give me the answers I'm looking for. In the meantime, I'll keep hurling my "help" prayers up to God and meditating on this verse until it is born in my spirit and burned on my soul.
What are you waiting for? Have you found help from any promises of God? What is encouraging you during your wait?
