Five Minute Friday: Waiting

Hosted by: The Gypsy Mama
Begin:745
Wow what a busy day this has been! I finally have five minutes to sit and write. The topic today is waiting…..something I am NOT very  good at at times.
The first thing that came to my mind was the Bible verse: Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart: wait I say on the Lord".(Psalm 27:14)
Waiting at times is sure hard…especially when you are single. I guess the one thing I have been waiting for what seems a long time is for a man to come into my life to love me for who I am despite my flaws and my somewhat hyperness, craziness, and all my quirks. It seems the older I get and each passing birthday the hope of getting married and having my own family becomes bleaker and bleaker. But no matter what God is good and this waiting process has taught me a lot on what I need to focus on NOT a boyfriend or a husband but learning to wait on God to bring the one into my life.
Waiting on an answer to prayer is hard…there are times I want things right away and I mean RIGHT away…but God has not given me the things I wanted right away he has made me wait on Him..I think that waiting period God gives me teaches me to rely on Him more and makes me a stronger Christian. Waiting although it is hard I have come to realize that waiting is part of the Christian life.
The best thing about waiting…it helps strengthen my faith in God.  So I will sit and wait and learn to be patient and in the process learn to trust God more.
