Waiting....... How long can I wait?

The word "Wait" in this world that we live in can be very tough. I personally hate to wait, either at a grocery store , coffee shop or even to the point of waiting to hear from God but seriously when we sit and think about reasons we are asked to wait, it is always beneficial to us in the long run especially when God is telling us to wait on His answer.

So I took a long break away from the blog because of a lot of reasons ....,, weddings, babies, and school . I know that it's been a long while but lately I have wondered why and how beneficial waiting can be.

With waiting, I have come to understand that  we need to assess situations in life for example when we are studying for an exam or when applying for a Job or in line to get a promotion at work, waiting is required for one to get the knowledge needed for the next step. 

So let's take for instance waiting to get married (which trust me is a whole lot harder than I thought ) but to think of it, it is made me understand what I like, what I don't like,  what I can compromise with and what certainly I cannot compromise with ( oh yet the topic compromise hmmm - that it's for another day) and most importantly hearing from God to know that this is the right guy for me. 

In the bible Esther had to wait for the appropriate time and while she waited she was groomed to be best queen who gained favor mot only in the sight of the king but also in sight if the Lord. Over the past months, I know I have had to struggle with the act of waiting because my school has been tough, not to talk of finances, relationships etc and although things did not turn out the way I planned it but I know that my waiting period will not go to a waste. I have come to appreciate my waiting period in life because I can reflect on me, I can enjoy being single which a whole lot of people condemn especially when you are getting to that age. My waiting period has allowed me study people, critique my relationships, appreciate my loved ones and also learn to trust God and have faith that all things will work out  together for my good.

So I encourage you and also myself to embrace the act of waiting and while you do wait don't remain stagnant, grow, empower yourself and build on relationship with friends, family, loved one and most importantly build on your relationship with your Maker. 

my quote of today is 

 To be that woman..... You need to be prepared and well groomed and at times grooming takes time .

Have an amazing day .
