The thought that crossed my mind the other day was that God waits for us to turn back to him. How can we not be patient in situations? He has waited so long, thousands of years in fact. He knew how long it would take us to feel his love and love him back.
Another wise friend in my life, I will call her Pam (she reminds me of Pam from the Office), said, "stop comparing yourself to others, you are where God wants you to be." Such encouraging words, even though I know I have heard these words before. This conversation was in light of my 10 year class reunion, coming up in 2 weeks. I just don't feel like I have accomplished anything, not married or dating anyone, no kids, no real career, and the list could go on. What I have learned from talking to Pam is that I found Jesus and that is the best accomplishment ever. So who cares if I don't have that other stuff. It will come. I have hope that God will one day give me the desires of my heart.
So I have to rest in His plan in my life. Because my plan fails all the time. He knows what is best for me. I just have to trust in that.
God is good and he has given me many blessings. In the waiting I will learn all I can. I will sit at the feet of Jesus, and talk to His Spirit and attempt to acknowledge him in all ways.
He has blessed me with many friends, a wonderful church and church family, family, and steady job, and many other things. He also sent his son to die on the cross for me. He gave me his love.
Just remember in the waiting, there is learning and God's timing is always perfect.
