just wait.
“take delight in the Lord & He will give you
your heart’s desire.”
Psalm 37:4
Journal Entry from:
07-24-12
July 24th, 2012 was my FIRST day at my new job!
The funny thing is I left for Africa on July 25th, 2011. In Africa, I got to do a lot of really amazing things one of which was, I got to tour the hospital and I got to visit Labor & Delivery, the Nursery, and the Postpartum unit because my DREAM was to be a nurse that worked with mommies and babies. I bet God laughed at me when I was there knowing that He was going to bless me a year later with “my heart’s desire.”
I also got this badge holder as a gift when I first graduated from nursing school wanting to land a job with babies.. but God blessed me with a different job that I adored!! One year later He opened a door for me to work on the floor I’ve always dreamed of! Good things come to those who wait & are patient! He knew when I got this gift I would be using it one day, He just wanted me to wait & be content until the timing was right!
Waiting can be difficult. I am sure the reason is because we live in such a fast-paced world. We have everything at our finger tips, we just pull out our iPad, phone, or computer and can find anything we want anytime we want.
However, Christ sometimes calls us to WAIT and be patient. Don’t get me wrong waiting can be hard, exhausting, and stressful. We wait for promotions, a phone call, a spouse, healing, etc. In those times of waiting that God allows, He could very well be trying to teach us something.
He wants us to spend time with Him , get to know Him, go to dinner with Him, kick it with Him. He wants to teach us something. If you’re in a season of waiting.. just be still & rest & know that your waiting will be rewarded.. I promise.
“Let all that I am wait quietly before God, for my hope is in Him.”
Psalm 62:5
