Waiting is another emotion I struggle with. Right now I am immensely struggling with it. Jeff’s company hasn’t bounced back the way we thought it would & as a result Jeff has been looking for a job. I came across a job online that was almost EXACTLY what he did prior to starting his own company. Jeff has now had 5 interviews with this company.  Everytime he’d get a phone call we thought it was to tell him whether or not he got the job, but it wasn’t. It was to inform him of the next interview. Now, don’t get me wrong, I DO realize we should be grateful that it wasn’t the call saying he didn’t get the job. We are grateful, but it is still hard as we just want closure! Jeff was then told they would have a decision by Friday….as in last Friday. We still don’t know.  This has been going on for over 2 months & we are getting tired of waiting.Â
Loved this post! The things that I am waiting for at the moment are things that will take a few years to see an outcome. That is so hard for me. I like how you’ve explained waiting as an active word rather than “doing nothing.”
Wow! You TRULY are waiting! It IS hard being still & waiting on God, but we must in order to see His will done! I’m praying for you!
Worded perfectly!! Its funny because I just responded to one of your comments on my blog and the verse I put down was the Psalm 27:14, and then I skip over here and see you had come across the same verse. Its a good one for sure!! Just remember He is going to give you everything you need and more, just be faithful in your wait. God Bless.
Thanks Kristin! I’m so happy God led me to your blog, it has been VERY encouraging to me while I’m waiting
Blessings to you!
Oh, Kim, I laughed when I got to this post!! That sounds cruel, but I mean it’s amazing how much we are on the same path right now
Trials and waiting!! (I know your husband got a job, from a later post! Congrats) But really, as hard as it is, it will all be worth it…it really doesn’t matter whether it’s our fault or not, God is Sovereign, and uses our trials to teach, guide, and heal us…to make us more like Him. Our mistakes are His opportunity! And we are covered, emerged in His grace. So glad to meet someone I feel is so like-minded! Loving your blog:)
Hi Jacqui! No, you don’t sound cruel! You are sooo RIGHT! You can’t help but shake your head when God brings certain people into your life to inspire & encourage you. I too am so grateful to God for “linking” us up. Your blog is so encouraging & always what I need to read
Thank you for your sweet reminder that it WILL all be worth it. Blessings my friend!!
