While it is my hope that my life view is more in line with Freddy Craddock than with Freddy Mercury, I can certainly relate to the aforementioned anthem. Time after time I have looked back on situations where I was ready to leap, God said wait. Out of obedience - well really because I had no other option - I waited (albeit impatiently), and lo and behold, God shows his good and perfect timing. Some people are blessed with patience. I'm not one of those people. But I keep telling myself that anything worth having is worth waiting for, worth striving for, worth my blood, sweat and tears. On a daily basis, I go from almost uncontainable excitement for the path we have chosen to utter frustration that what needs to happen hasn't happened yet. Waiting on God is hard enough, waiting on everybody else just drives me crazy! Hang in there, and we will too!<BR/><BR/>As the great poet Thomas Petty said, "You take it on faith, you take it to heart. The waiting is the hardest part."katdishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09210738418270395622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012419859691017821.post-37555096399024859432008-02-27T10:00:00.000-05:002008-02-27T10:00:00.000-05:00waiting = submissiontime = moneyto wait is an inve...waiting = submission<BR/>time = money<BR/><BR/>to wait is an investment. with the the rapid movement of our lives and the world, we must wait only on that which is worthy of our time. <BR/><BR/>my wife, is worth waiting for, we may be late as a result, but she is worth waiting for. in that moment i must choose to submit, otherwise i can leave and she can catch up to me later. what if i said that to my wife, "i'll catch up with you later." because i'm sure as heck not going to stay here and wait. but instead i wish to experience all of this with you; together.<BR/><BR/>waiting on God isn't the hard part, it's not even being able to see the timetable that i have a problem with.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
