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 new things you have unveiled in your blog post. One thing I would really like to touch upon is that FSBO human relationships are built as time passes. By presenting yourself to the owners the first end of the week their FSBO can be announced, prior to a masses start calling on Friday, you create a good connection. By giving them methods, educational products, free records, and forms, you become a great ally. By using a personal curiosity about them as well as their situation, you build a solid connection that, oftentimes, pays off once the owners opt with a real estate agent they know as well as trust — preferably you actually.
I acquired more new stuff on this weight loss issue. One issue is that good nutrition is especially vital if dieting. A huge reduction in fast foods, sugary food, fried foods, sweet foods, pork, and white flour products might be necessary. Holding wastes parasites, and harmful toxins may prevent ambitions for shedding fat. While particular drugs briefly solve the condition, the nasty side effects aren’t worth it, and in addition they never supply more than a temporary solution. It can be a known idea that 95 of diet plans fail. Many thanks sharing your thinking on this website.
This really answered my problem, thanks!

Thanks for this glorious article. Yet another thing to mention is that the majority of digital cameras are available equipped with the zoom lens so that more or less of that scene to generally be included through ‘zooming’ in and out. These kinds of changes in {focus|focusing|concentration|target|the a**** length tend to be reflected inside viewfinder and on substantial display screen at the back of your camera.
Hmm it looks like your site ate my first comment (it was super long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I had written and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog. I too am an aspiring blog blogger but I’m still new to everything. Do you have any tips and hints for beginner blog writers? I’d certainly appreciate it.
Howdy! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering if you knew where I could get a captcha plugin for my comment form? I’m using the same blog platform as yours and I’m having trouble finding one? Thanks a lot!
