The waiting season... Whew is it hard. This is something that tests our faith to the max. We all despise the waiting season because we want what we want when we want it and that is totally understandable, but what we sometimes don't realize during this season is that God is preparing us for something greater even if we do not understand His plan. God's timing is different than ours. Some days are harder than others, but we must continue to keep our faith. He understands we may get frustrated, but faith must remain. I have struggled with being impatient during my waiting season because I am someone who likes to be in control and not being able to control certain things really got to me because I felt like I know when I am ready, but in reality, but that is God's job to determine that. The waiting season can also be difficult because we may feel like God is ignoring us, but once things get silent it simply means He is working things out behind the scenes. One of my favorite verses is Proverbs 3:5-6, "Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." This verse stands out to me because as I mentioned I can be a control freak, but when it comes to God's plan that is not the way to be because He is in control not I. Proverbs 16:9 states "We can make our plans, but the LORD determines our steps." This can definitely be easier said than done because it took me a long time to fully trust in Him and sometimes in certain instances not even going to lie, I can still find myself doubting, but when those thoughts arise I take a deep breath and instantly start praying because when that happens it is the enemy trying to steer me away from the Lord. If this happens to you, I recommend this! "Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart." Psalm 37:4. Keep your faith no matter what! The waiting season can be long and difficult, but the Lord says in John 3:16, fear not He has overcome the world!
