What Are You Waiting For?

Today I read the following article.  It blew me away.  I wish I had read it years ago as a single woman.  But, it is helpful to this married woman's heart, because it's principles are biblical and universal. 

What are you waiting for?  Waiting isn't just for single women.  I've spent many a day waiting for . . .

• school to start/end
• my prince charming to come on the scene
• my wedding day to arrive
• babies to spring forth
• doctors and lab results
• pain to subside following miscarriage
• my husband to get better
• a positive preganancy test
• sick children to get better
• sons to give their hearts to Jesus
• God to open the eyes of friends who are spiritually blind
• God to reveal His will for the next step of my mission

During those waiting times I am drawn to my knees in desperation.  And there I find Him, ever patient, ever sure.  A painful lonely place is suddenly warmed by His light and love.  I am no longer alone in my waiting places.  And you don't have to be alone in yours either.

"I just didn’t want to wait anymore – didn’t want to live like I was waiting on anyone to get here.  I already have Him … and He is everything."  - Grace
