The Weight of Waiting

God knows me. He is well aware of my weaknesses. So He calls me to His workout room were my weights are actually waits. “Here lift these. When you have completed this exercise, you will emerge a stronger woman.”

So I begin to “strength train” with the waits in my life.

I’ve discovered that waiting isn’t a waste of time, but an opportunity to grow my character. When the wait feels impossible I try to focus on building patience and my relationship with Jesus, rather than fretting. I spend a lot of time in God’s wait room. Next time you find yourself there, remember that God provides the ability to endure when we willingly yield to His strength training process.

Psalm 5:3 In the morning, O LORD, you hear my voice; …I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation.

Isaiah 49:23 b, “Those who wait for me shall not be put to shame.” (ESV)

Romans 15:4 ...the Scriptures give us hope and encouragement as we wait patiently for God’s promises to be fulfilled. (NLT)

this was especially poignant to me for a couple reasons...1) my ex-man is a football coach. we would often associate things in life to coaching, and 2) i am really trying to wait patiently upon the Lord as i look for a new job, try not to fret about finances, and now wondering what may be in store with this new man i've 'met.'

anyone who knows me well, they will tell you i make quick decisions. i'm not one of those 'gee...should i?" or "i dunno what i want" types. i'm a "let's try this...and if that's not good...we'll adjust and try something different!" and my kids will tell you i am DEFINITELY not a patient 'wait in this line' kinda gal. lol but i TRY!!! i take a book to the doctor's office now. or i check my little notebook i keep in my purse and try to be productive. i know i could do better...but God's patient. so i'll just keep turning it over to him.

but this morning is a prime example. when i was getting my work comp checks a couple month's ago...they always arrived on tuesdays. one of the first things i thot this mnorning was "gotta go to the post office and see if there's a check!" not that i desperately need it TODAY...i just want to cross it off my list and not have to think about it this week. lol

thank You, Lord...for speaking to my heart today. for calling me on something i continue to struggle with on a deeply personal level. make me more patient...just starting with today. help me realize what i need to be doing...and what i need to trust You to do. these things i pray in Jesus' name...amen.

Patience.

Yep.

I'll be meeting you in the Wait Room.



Okay, this weekend I watched Evan Almighty, I think that's where I heard this ... maybe I'm wrong. There was a lot of stuff I took in this weekend. But the quote that I remember was "When you ask God for patience, does He give you patience, or does He give you something to be patient about?"

Makes ya think just a little.

Then makes your face do something like this:

Well, it does me.

That's why I'll see ya in the Waiting Room.

TOTALLY! makes my head hurt....thinking about all the times i've messed up opportunities God 'blessed' me with. (giggle)

but it also reminded me. my new friend was telling me he'd rented that movie a couple weeks ago to watch with his youngest (5 yrs old). and the next day got an angry call from her mom...cuz when she walked in the daughter's bedroom that next morning...she'd chopped her hair off. when mom asked "what have you DONE?!" the girl just said "it's okay, mommy...jesus will make it grow back!"

I don't think I will ever live this down. LOL. Isn't it funny how the meaning of words change?

And about the footwear, I love my Teva's.

Status: offline 		wow.......i'm feeling really discombobulated today. i was already feeling a little down...then i got online here and find that so many of my friends are really struggling, too. guess it's gonna be a pray-a-thousand-times kind of day!


but ya know what just hit me? i've been reading, and praying...but not once have i called satan out! and God gives us power for a reason, doesn't He? so right now....i'm doing it!

satan...you want us to THINK you have power over us. you want us to wallow and worry. but you have NO power over me...or my friends!! God is so much bigger than you. and we claim all His promises...of comfort, and peace, and wisdom. i will not tolerate your planting negative thoughts in my heart, or in my friend's hearts. God has been waiting patiently for us to call on Him...and i call on him now...for myself...and on behalf of all my friends here. matthew 18:20 tell us "for where two or three are gathered together in My name, there am I in the midst of them." i believe that applies here, online, too. so get thee behind us...your time here is up!!!

ps 118:24 this is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.

i hope y'all will join me in some PMA (positive mental attitude). right now...i'm deciding to only focus on the good God is bringing me today. and if a negative thought does creep into my mind...i will immediately replace it with a quick little prayer of thankgsiving and praise! it is impossible to think two thoughts at one time....so i'm taking control of my thoughts...and focusing on God's positives. i am a wonderous, blessed, strong child of God...and i'm gonna start acting like it!

Status: offline 		satan strikes back...and right away! just got an email saying they received my online application, but "we have moved forward in our process with other candidates who more closely match our needs at this time."

alrighty then!!!!!! that's just one less job opportunity i don't have to wonder about, right? HA! i laugh at you, satan. you're not throwin me that easily!





(shiver) just had a thought. what if i'm pretending to be all brave...and now he's just gonna come at me harder?

NOPE...not goin there! i am strong, and God is faithful. He won't let satan give me more than i can handle.

Status: offline 		so...a little 'new friend' update.

we are meeting (for the first time) early sunday evening for a walk in the park...then maybe going for ice cream.

we have talked for over 2 hrs each of the last two nights....learning a lot about each other, telling stories, talking about our faith. it funny...the number of times he's done things with my family (thanksgiving, picnics, etc) in the last 6 months...that had i not been on the road...we would've already met! lol but God's timing is perfect...so i'm sure there's a reason we're just meeting now.

please pray that we both continue to let this friendship build...and not worry about the 'what ifs.' we're just enjoying what God is doing NOW!
