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.

Youre so cool! I dont suppose Ive read anything like this before. So good to find someone with some unique ideas on this subject. realy thank you for beginning this up. this website is something that’s needed on the net, somebody with a little originality. helpful job for bringing something new to the web!
Thanks for the tips you have provided here. One more thing I would like to mention is that laptop memory requirements generally rise along with other breakthroughs in the technology. For instance, as soon as new generations of processor chips are brought to the market, there is certainly usually a similar increase in the size demands of all pc memory and hard drive space. This is because the application operated by simply these cpus will inevitably rise in power to take advantage of the new technological innovation.
Thank you for sharing indeed great looking !
What?s Happening i’m new to this, I stumbled upon this I have found It positively helpful and it has aided me out loads. I hope to contribute & help other users like its aided me. Good job.
Today, I went to the beachfront with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is entirely off topic but I had to tell someone!
Thanks for the publish. My partner and i have often observed that the majority of people are eager to lose weight as they wish to look slim plus attractive. Nonetheless, they do not constantly realize that there are additional benefits so that you can losing weight also. Doctors state that obese people have problems with a variety of conditions that can be perfectely attributed to the excess weight. Thankfully that people who definitely are overweight plus suffering from various diseases can help to eliminate the severity of their illnesses through losing weight. You possibly can see a progressive but marked improvement with health as soon as even a negligible amount of fat reduction is obtained.
Thanks for your ideas. One thing I have noticed is the fact banks along with financial institutions know the spending patterns of consumers as well as understand that most of the people max out and about their real credit cards around the trips. They properly take advantage of this specific fact and then start flooding ones inbox plus snail-mail box using hundreds of no interest APR credit cards offers just after the holiday season comes to an end. Knowing that should you be like 98 in the American public, you’ll get at the opportunity to consolidate consumer credit card debt and move balances to 0 annual percentage rates credit cards.
I have read some just right stuff here. Certainly price bookmarking for revisiting. I wonder how a lot attempt you place to create this kind of excellent informative site.
Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied on the video to make your point. You obviously know what youre talking about, why waste your intelligence on just posting videos to your site when you could be giving us something enlightening to read?
