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.
I’d love to hear from you, so send in your comments or send in an email. Let’s talk!

I have really learned new things by means of your web site. One other thing I’d like to say is that newer computer os’s are inclined to allow additional memory to use, but they also demand more memory simply to run. If someone’s computer can not handle much more memory as well as the newest software package requires that ram increase, it usually is the time to buy a new Personal computer. Thanks
I can’t express how much I value the effort the author has put into writing this exceptional piece of content. The clarity of the writing, the depth of analysis, and the wealth of information presented are simply remarkable. Her zeal for the subject is obvious, and it has undoubtedly made an impact with me. Thank you, author, for offering your knowledge and enriching our lives with this incredible article!
whoah this blog is great i love reading your articles. Keep up the great work! You know, lots of people are looking around for this information, you can aid them greatly.
F*ckin? remarkable things here. I am very glad to see your post. Thanks a lot and i’m looking forward to contact you. Will you please drop me a e-mail?
Hiya, I am really glad I’ve found this info. Nowadays bloggers publish just about gossips and web and this is actually frustrating. A good site with interesting content, this is what I need. Thanks for keeping this web site, I will be visiting it. Do you do newsletters? Can’t find it.
I do not even know how I stopped up here, however I believed this publish was great. I don’t recognise who you are but definitely you’re going to a well-known blogger in the event you aren’t already 😉 Cheers!

The things i have seen in terms of laptop or computer memory is that there are technical specs such as SDRAM, DDR and so forth, that must go with the features of the motherboard. If the personal computer’s motherboard is kind of current while there are no main system issues, improving the storage space literally usually takes under an hour or so. It’s one of many easiest laptop upgrade types of procedures one can visualize. Thanks for discussing your ideas.
Hiya! Quick question that’s totally off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My weblog looks weird when viewing from my iphone 4. I’m trying to find a theme or plugin that might be able to fix this issue. If you have any suggestions, please share. With thanks!
