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 believe that avoiding highly processed foods will be the first step for you to lose weight. They might taste excellent, but ready-made foods contain very little nutritional value, making you take more to have enough vitality to get throughout the day. For anyone who is constantly feeding on these foods, transitioning to grain and other complex carbohydrates will make you to have more strength while ingesting less. Interesting blog post.

In accordance with my observation, after a in foreclosure home is sold at an auction, it is common for your borrower to still have some sort ofthat remaining balance on the mortgage loan. There are many lenders who try and have all charges and liens paid by the subsequent buyer. Even so, depending on specified programs, rules, and state legislation there may be quite a few loans that are not easily solved through the exchange of financial products. Therefore, the duty still rests on the consumer that has got his or her property foreclosed on. Many thanks for sharing your opinions on this blog site.

There are many lenders who try and have all service fees and liens paid off by the future buyer. Even so, depending on certain programs, rules, and state guidelines there may be many loans which are not easily handled through the transfer of financial loans. Therefore, the duty still lies on the borrower that has obtained his or her property foreclosed on. Thanks for sharing your thinking on this blog site.
