Waiting

I find that I tend to be impatient. I don't really vocalize it, but I am always ready for the next chapter, the next adventure in life. When, really, God's trying to teach me to enjoy and soak in the moments He gives me right now, where I am at in life.


I am a hopeless romantic and I can't wait to be swept off my feet, hold someones hand, and walk down that aisle. However, I need to remember that waiting is part of the journey, it's part of that beautiful, exciting ride.  Some days it does not feel like that, but I have to remember to wait, on Him and He will reveal His plan for me in time.


There will be emotions and passions that arise, but Oh! He is good and faithful to hold my heart when it feels to full! I am so glad that I have someone who knows the rest of my story...and I am eager to see what He has in store for me.  The hard part is learning to be ready for whatever He has.
Two weeks ago, I came across the beautiful hymn when I was struggling with my emotions and with waiting.  It is called, "Have Thine Own Way Lord." Maybe some of you know it, but I had never heard of it before two weeks ago. I think the Lord had it planned that way, because when I read it, I was blown away at how much it fit my circumstance.  Later on that night, He blessed me immensely, because He had His own way and taught me to accept that.


Here's the lyrics to the hymn:
"Have thine own way Lord, have thine own way. Thou art the potter, I am the clay.  Mould me and make me after Thy will, while I am waiting, yielded and still.
Have Thine own way Lord, have thine own way. Search me and try me, Master today! Whiter than snow, Lord, wash me just now, as in Thy presence, humbly I bow.
Have thine own way Lord, have Thine own way. Wounded and weary, help me I pray. Power all power, wash me just now, touch me and heal me, Savior divine!
Have thine own way Lord, have thine own way! Hold o'er my being Absolute sway! Fill with Thy Spirit, till all shall see, Christ only, always, living in me!"


I love the part when it talks about, waiting-yielded and still.  That night, I learned to yield to what He wanted-not what I wanted, and He blessed me for it. Sometimes what He has for us is not what we had planned, but we know it is PERFECT, because they are His plans! And He, is never mistaken!


Psalm 27:14
"Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord."
