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.

This is the proper blog for anybody who needs to search out out about this topic. You understand so much its virtually laborious to argue with you (not that I really would want?HaHa). You definitely put a brand new spin on a subject thats been written about for years. Great stuff, simply great!
After I originally commented I clicked the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and now every time a comment is added I get 4 emails with the identical comment. Is there any approach you may remove me from that service? Thanks!
Thanks for your write-up. I would also love to remark that the first thing you will need to complete is to see if you really need credit restoration. To do that you will have to get your hands on a duplicate of your credit file. That should really not be difficult, ever since the government necessitates that you are allowed to be issued one cost-free copy of your credit report annually. You just have to check with the right folks. You can either look at website for that Federal Trade Commission or maybe contact one of the major credit agencies straight.
