The waiting season

The waiting season

Hey, It's Lily!
Have you ever question yourself, "Why am I still not there yet?", "Why I'm being left behind?", "Are my struggles mean nothing?", "Am I struggling alone?", "Why everyone figured their life already?", "What is my next step?".

The answer is simple, and that is to wait.
*But, I've been waiting for so long, I want to get there by next month! I need to get this and that next week!*

*Sigh*
That is why you're not there yet! Because you are not faithfully waiting.

Let's look back on your attitude while waiting: took shortcuts, made aggressive decisions, trusted your way, didn't ask for guidance, doubted His timing. You simply didn't trust the process. And that is why you're still here, You feel stuck because you tried so hard to make the process faster than it should be.

The waiting season is the most challenging part of "getting there", we tend to do things that would prolong or even interrupt the process without realizing the objective of waiting, and that is to learn to wait faithfully. It says in Hebrews 11:1 "Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see"

And to that is another question; "Where is the faith?"

If you are still in your waiting season, pray and be there for yourself. Be conscious of your emotional baggage, because maybe you are holding on to something that isn't supposed to be in your journey. And if you feel like giving up, pat yourself on the back for waiting bravely. Because not everyone can.

Let me end this blog with my favorite bible verse:
Ecclesiastes 3:11
"He has made everything beautiful in its own time. He has also set eternity in the human heart, yet no one can fathom what God has done from the beginning to end."
