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.

Its like you read my mind! You seem to know a lot about this, like you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you can do with some pics to drive the message home a little bit, but other than that, this is excellent blog. An excellent read. I will definitely be back.
Yet another thing to mention is that an online business administration study course is designed for learners to be able to smoothly proceed to bachelor degree programs. The 90 credit college degree meets the lower bachelor college degree requirements and once you earn your current associate of arts in BA online, you will possess access to the modern technologies within this field. Some reasons why students want to get their associate degree in business is because they are interested in the field and want to get the general training necessary ahead of jumping right bachelor college diploma program. Thx for the tips you provide inside your blog.
Many thanks to you for sharing all these wonderful threads. In addition, an excellent travel in addition to medical insurance plan can often eliminate those considerations that come with visiting abroad. Some sort of medical emergency can before long become very expensive and that’s sure to quickly impose a financial problem on the family finances. Having in place the excellent travel insurance deal prior to leaving is definitely worth the time and effort. Cheers

I just like the valuable information you provide in your articles. I will bookmark your weblog and test again here frequently. I’m reasonably certain I?ll be informed many new stuff right here! Good luck for the following!
I have realized that in video cameras, extraordinary detectors help to {focus|concentrate|maintain focus|target|a**** automatically. These sensors regarding some camcorders change in contrast, while others work with a beam of infra-red (IR) light, specially in low lumination. Higher spec cameras occasionally use a mixture of both techniques and probably have Face Priority AF where the photographic camera can ‘See’ a face while keeping focused only upon that. Thank you for sharing your opinions on this blog site.
