Today I’m taking a moment to be transparent about where I’m at in life and to hopefully encourage anyone who may also be in a similar situation. I hope it resonates with at least one of person.
Soooooo, I feel like I’m in a line. A really long line, where I have ticket 103 and they are on they’ve just called ticket 10. So, here I am…waiting. I’m confident in the fact that I’m not the only person in this world who isn’t fond of waiting. In so many ways, this season of post-grad life has been beautiful. I have to often remind myself of the beauty because other wise that ungratefulness creeps in. I’ve grown so much spiritually and I desire more of God everyday. I’ve been working on my physical and mental health. Each day I’m making moves toward my career goal to be a Physical Therapist. And lastly, my favorite thing about being home is spending time with my family. Even with all these great things going, there are some days where I’m not so patient or willing to look on the bright side.
Maybe like me, you find yourself in a similar season of expecting things from God but not knowing when he’s going to come through. And maybe you are handling it awesome. Or, like me, you’ve been a bit emotional and have days where you just feel rocky. Like one thing can cause a bad mood shift. I usually just ugly cry haha. It’s not a great feeling. There’s an old gospel song that both comforts me and makes me laugh. It says “Late in the midnight hour, Gods going to turn it around, and it’s going to work in your favor!”
While on one hand, I’m so grateful to have a father that always comes through, I low key wonder to myself “Dang God, why is it LATE in the MIDNIGHT hour???”
It’s so ingrained in our society to think of the negatives instead of the positive. The only thing we should be concerned with is the fact that God WILL come through. And it doesn’t matter that it’s the last minute because he still comes through. That’s the point. He gets the victory and glory because who else could turn a situation that seems irreversible or dead into something that you want to run and tell everyone about. God does his best work when the things seem hopeless because those are the testimonies that bring souls into his kingdom. So even though I still might cry, while I wait, I read my Bible. And I talk to people that have been through some valleys and I marvel at how God miraculously used every seemingly negative thing into something good. While I wait, I praise my God anyway because I know that he cares about me. I know he sees me. And he knows what I need before I open my mouth. While I wait, I take the time to see the beauty in this pain and how God is going to set it up for his glory. Because half the stuff we go through isn’t even for us. It’s for the souls that we will attract because of what we did in hard times and how we came out.
So I want to just encourage everyone to really contemplate on how you may be waiting. If your wait isn’t giving glory to God, you might want to figure out how to turn it around. God wants to see that even though you don’t have it in your hands now, you have the promise in your heart. He wants to know you trust him implicitly. I’ll be praying for both you and me, while we wait.
“But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.”
Isaiah 40:31 NLT
