Still Waiting.

Description

WEEK 21/52 - "Still Waiting."
December 15, 2012

This week was filled with prayers, yearning, and trying new things. I kept wondering if it's my fault that certain things don't happen in my life, or a certain person doesn't come along.
But I'm still waiting here, as patient as I can be, trying my very best to trust God in this. I feel like He's concluding a past chapter in my life, which I like to call it 2012. As it's ending, there are a few last minute adjustments needing to be made.
Meanwhile I am opening my eyes as wide as I can, taking any steps I see to take, and letting God guide me the rest of the way.
I may be used to singleness, but the more time that passes, the harder the wait becomes, wondering when it's my turn. Because I want something real, genuine, and lasting..
Until then, I'll be waiting for him.

be... simply be.

I once asked God almost the same thing. About a 6-8 months later, I met an amazing woman. I'd made peace with being able to be. No expectations. No anticipation. No angst or anger. No ultimatums. No hurry. Just me and my dog, alone. Satisfaction growing in the state of be-ing. Then... when least expected, when it least mattered, there she was. We've been married 15 years now. I thank God for His gift-daily. He rewarded my faith, patience, trust and submission. All because I chose to simply be... walked the walk, gave in to Him to guide me, listened as He taught me to like (and love) me for me, gained strength of self, as i grew all the while, continuing to simply be.

My prayer for you in 2013 is for you to find the joy, strength and purpose on the journey of learning to simply, be.
