What is the hardest thing you have ever experienced?
Waiting on God’s timing. I think this stems out of my great desire to control everything; I know, big shock. I expect to be able to decide I want something and then achieve it. Most things in life fall into the category of “if you work hard enough you can…” but not everything. The things that are out of my hands are what I have difficulty accepting. But I am getting better and I love and will serve the Lord unquestionably. I know that His ways are above my ways and in His will things are timed perfectly. But when the Lord gives me a glimpse of what He has for it is difficult not to want it RIGHT NOW. There is a verse in Proverbs that says “hope deferred makes the heart grow sick but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life.” (13:12). We are waiting on some words from God right now and I must admit that this waiting period has also been a great learning time, just some lessons I would have preferred to learn the easy way. But, I know that the Lord is called Faithful and True and I know that the work He began in me He will complete. So right now, I am just waiting on His timing.
