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.

Thanks for the suggestions you have discussed here. Something else I would like to convey is that pc memory needs generally go up along with other advances in the technological know-how. For instance, any time new generations of processor chips are brought to the market, there is usually a corresponding increase in the shape preferences of both laptop or computer memory along with hard drive room. This is because software program operated by way of these processors will inevitably increase in power to take advantage of the new technological innovation.
I?ve read a few good stuff here. Definitely worth bookmarking for revisiting. I surprise how much effort you put to create such a excellent informative site.
Thanks for this article. I’d personally also like to express that it can be hard if you are in school and starting out to create a long credit ranking. There are many students who are just trying to endure and have a good or beneficial credit history can often be a difficult factor to have.
I think other website proprietors should take this web site as an model, very clean and wonderful user genial style and design, let alone the content. You’re an expert in this topic!
Thanks for the useful information on credit repair on this excellent site. A few things i would tell people will be to give up the particular mentality they will buy at this point and pay back later. Like a society most people tend to make this happen for many things. This includes family vacations, furniture, along with items we’d like. However, it is advisable to separate the wants from all the needs. While you’re working to raise your credit score you have to make some sacrifices. For example you are able to shop online to save money or you can visit second hand outlets instead of expensive department stores intended for clothing.
Awesome site you have here but I was wanting to know if you knew of any forums that cover the same topics discussed in this article? I’d really like to be a part of community where I can get feedback from other experienced people that share the same interest. If you have any recommendations, please let me know. Kudos!
