waiting. is. wonderful.

Never thought those words would come out of anyone's mouth.  Much less out of mine.

But as I stare at the fog, the vast unknown, that is currently my future, I can stand here today and say with confidence, "Waiting is wonderful."

Waiting is HARD.  It is hard not having a plan.  It is hard when you wait not even knowing what you wait for.  Or what you want to wait for.  It is hard when you talk to others at the same point in life as you who have a set plan, something seen and tactile.  It is hard, even after years of waiting, when the idea of waiting more seems to hit you and leads you still to tears.
But, Waiting gets EASIER. 

Waiting can be LONELY.  It is lonely when you wait by yourself.  When you rejoice in others who move forward, while you sit or stand or lie down and wait because of the absence of a light at the end of your tunnel.  It is lonely when all you can see is the small light just above the next step you are about to take.  Or the light that is above your head, meaning that each step you do take is blind or should not yet be taken.
But, Waiting can be ACCOMPANIED.


From my waiting experience, I now know that waiting is part of the plan.  I never planned on titling several chapters of my life book "Waiting," but waiting continues to be an interesting and fulfilling and wonderful experience.

Waiting is hard, but God makes it easier.  

"...All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be."  

Psalm 139:16

My future is not unknown to Him; it is just unnamed to me.

Waiting is lonely sometimes, but God accompanies me as I wait.

"Be still, and know that I am God..."

Psalm 46:10

He is God, and He is here.

And I can say without a doubt that waiting. 

is. 

wonderful.

And that whenever I do find out 

whatever I am waiting for, 

I know that whatever it is 

will be well worth 

the wait.
