That's what I feel like the Lord is speaking into my heart today... "Wait."
Just one word. But with that one word comes a multitude of other implications. Waiting takes patience. Reliance on someone other than yourself. Waiting takes trust. Believing in something that's not physically tangible. I don't want you to think that I don't believe that God will make a way, because I do with all my heart... It's the waiting, the anticipation that makes it that much harder.
So many things that I wanted to happen this month are on hold right now. Ben's job, our pregnancy... But instead of being anxious about those things I'm trying to remember that God has a perfect timing. That He hasn't forgotten about us and that He's not complacent in His desire to see His will played out in our lives.
He's telling Ben and I to wait. He wants us to trust in Him more than we trust ourselves, our families, even each other. He wants us to rely soley Him. And that's what we have to do.
Instead of trying to help God along, we need to believe He has everything under control. Instead of listening to other advice, we need to listen to His Holy Spirit speaking into our lives.
It's hard waiting, but I trust that-- in the end-- having His plan will be better than anything we could build by ourselves.
