Sometimes you just need to take a chill-pill and wait on the Lord.
I can’t help but think the Lord is trying to instill patience in me. Ever since Darcey and I started our courtship, life has been an exercise in waiting. First, Darcey had to wait for 2 and a half years before even sharing with me that he had feelings for me. Then we had to wait for two years before we could get married. Finally, we had to wait quite a while before we could move into our final house on the GFA campus.
This is our beautiful new house! (our friend’s car though)
I’m not complaining, I just can’t help but notice a pattern. I am super thankful that the Lord has been working on this topic with me as I wasn’t a very patient person before, and I still struggle with it every day, but I’m happy to see growth in both me and Darcey.
I’m thankful that God’s timing is perfect and mine isn’t. He knows what is best, and I can only know what’s “good”. He provides in abundance what I need, and often even what I want. He loves me and is molding me into what He intended me to be. I’m far from perfect, but He is still using me to reach the millions in Asia who haven’t heard His name. He has a personal, intimate relationship with me and is patient when I fail. God is good, all the time!
Though I still wish things could move faster, I am more content to wait when He asks, and even more eager to run when He says that it’s time to move. He is well worth the wait.
Have you had to wait on the Lord to move in your life? What are your stories?
