The Wait.

A lot of my life over the last five years feels like waiting- 

Waiting on change.

Waiting on healing.

Waiting on clarity.

Waiting on timing.

And in that waiting, I’ve learned to wait on God…

Waiting on God as in-

Seeking him.

Talking to him.

Praising him

Sharing my concerns

Waiting to hear from him

Asking what he sees.

In the “waiting” I was at first impatient and rushed, frustrated, and sometimes confused. 

But the waiting became the place I had to be comfortable with- being in the in-between.

That’s where it all shifted. The waiting forced me to the present moment. Instead of pushing through, I had to stay. I had to rest. I had to wait. I got to experience the NOW. And in being in the “now” moment, God brought healing.

Sometimes the “now” feels like the most exposed place- or the most alive place.

Waiting became more of a way of being- not waiting for someday when- but actively being present before God. In the middle- in the place where I couldn’t make anything happen- that’s a place of humility, of rest, of yielding. 

Waiting often feels like I’m stuck. 

But when I change my mindset- from stuck to free. 

I see the wait differently.

The waiting is actually life…in life, you are always in transition. Always waiting for something. 

You can live the “wait” of life hoping for someday when. 

Or you can view the wait for what is it is—-the present- the now- freedom- as you wait on God…he works in your heart. 

Expectations of what is to come can leave you trapped- or disappointed in your own made-up plans and projections. Hand it over to God and trade it for his peace and hope- knowing he holds your future. 

Then the wait- this moment of life- you can live fully and free – see the beauty of now for what it is- waiting on God. 

You aren’t waiting for time to change and circumstances to shift.

You’re waiting on the ONE who holds it all- 

And in that “wait”…a relationship is developed, healing can take place, and perspective can shift.

-The change is the definition of wait-
