Waiting

This week I have really been thinking a lot on waiting...as weird as it sounds. I think on waiting for things, and not settling for less than I deserve. Lately, I've been finding myself trying to beat down doors that obviously aren't supposed to be opened for me...and while I wait outside the door for it to be opened, I have really been pondering this verse:

"I've learned by now to be quite content whatever my circumstances. I'm just as happy with little as with much, with much as with little. I've found the recipe for being happy whether full or hungry, hands full or hands empty. Whatever I have, wherever I am, I can make it through anything, in the One who makes me who I am." Philippians 4:11-13.

I have no idea why I try to make myself believe that I need more than I have now, but I guess that is just part of being human. Sometimes, we all want things that aren't good for us.

Everything will happen in it's own perfect timing.

Don't awaken change before it's time.

Don't move ahead before it's time.

Don't try to grow up before it's time.

Don't awaken love before it's time.

Doing anything before it's time will probably be disastrous, trust me, I know.

Things are going to happen, whether good or bad. We all just have to hold strong through the storm.

True contentment, well, for me at least, is when I know I'm doing what God wants me to do, or in a situation that God wants me to be in. That being the case, I don't know why I try to change things or get them rolling before their time. Let it be.

(no, this is not me being a lazy, non-go-getter, this is for those situations that you just have to wait. Just saying.)
