Hi friends; it’s been raining cats and dogs all day and right now all I’d like to do is grab a hot drink, and put up my feet.
Come sit with me while we visit together.
I attended the wedding of a lovely woman in her late forties recently and soon after, I had a long wait at the airport and these seemingly unrelated events both set me thinking;
We do quite a lot of waiting in our lifetimes.
That wait to get married must have felt rather long for that woman, considering that lots of her friends have been married for over two decades; and she has a few younger siblings who have walked down the aisle.
I’m in a waiting season
Come to think of it, I’ve been in these kinds of seasons time and time again,
Yes, I have had my share of times of waiting as I journey through life.
Waiting at the bus stop
Waiting to catch the train
Waiting to board the plane
Waiting in bumper to bumper traffic
We do a lot of waiting in our lifetimes.
Waiting
A wise man once said “enjoy the journey on the way to your destination”
Waiting for A-Level results and GCSE results (the dreaded and highly anticipated month of August in the UK)
Waiting to get into school, waiting to get out
Waiting for the right job, waiting for our careers to pick up
Waiting to get married, if you have a mind to;
Waiting to have children, if you’re willing to sign away your life, for at least 18 years!
The pandemic has been a global season of waiting,
Waiting for life to shutdown
Waiting for lockdown to be lifted
Waiting for life to start again
What have I learnt from my “waiting seasons?”
A wise pastor once said, “Remember to enjoy the journey on the way to your destination”
Wherever that destination may be for you
So I have learnt that God is in the waiting (Isaiah 43:2), that He walks with me through my down times.
What else have I learnt?
The pandemic has been a global season of waiting….. waiting for lockdown to be lifted; waiting for life to start again!
That the seasons of waiting do not define me,
We are no less important because our academic progress wasn’t as straightforward as a lot of our peers.
You are no less a woman because it took a while for you to get married and even a while longer for the babies to arrive. (I’ve been there)
And the bride I mentioned at the beginning?
She has pursued her career, taken trips; flourished in her local church, enjoyed getting together with friends (I ran into her once with a group of friends at the cinema); she has had a rich professional and social life
That’s what it means to “enjoy the journey on the way to your destination”
So what are you waiting for; is your season of waiting defining who you are?
It’s time to throw off the less-than-complimentary labels that society has tagged us with
Looking for a label? Here’s one
You are God’s child, made in His image (2 Corinthians 6:18) and He has nothing but the best for you.

fantastic issues altogether, you just gained a new reader. What would you suggest about your submit that you just made a few days in the past? Any certain?
It is the best time to make a few plans for the longer term and it is time to be happy. I’ve read this put up and if I may just I desire to recommend you few attention-grabbing things or suggestions. Perhaps you can write subsequent articles relating to this article. I want to learn even more things approximately it!
In line with my study, after a property foreclosure home is offered at a bidding, it is common for your borrower to be able to still have a remaining unpaid debt on the mortgage loan. There are many lenders who aim to have all fees and liens paid back by the subsequent buyer. Nevertheless, depending on specified programs, rules, and state regulations there may be some loans which are not easily fixed through the switch of personal loans. Therefore, the duty still rests on the debtor that has acquired his or her property in foreclosure process. Thank you for sharing your notions on this website.
Heya i?m for the first time here. I found this board and I find It truly useful & it helped me out a lot. I hope to give something back and aid others like you helped me.
You can certainly see your expertise in the work you write. The world hopes for even more passionate writers like you who aren’t afraid to say how they believe. Always follow your heart.
Along with the whole thing that seems to be building within this subject material, a significant percentage of viewpoints are generally relatively refreshing. Nonetheless, I appologize, because I can not subscribe to your whole theory, all be it exciting none the less. It seems to everyone that your comments are generally not totally rationalized and in reality you are generally your self not really fully confident of the argument. In any case I did appreciate reading through it.
magnificent issues altogether, you simply won a new reader. What might you suggest in regards to your submit that you made a few days in the past? Any certain?
