So at the moment I am waiting to find out what The Lord has planned for me. What is my purpose? What am I suppose to be doing with my life? I would LOVE to go play basketball overseas and experience the world. I also just finished up working with kids in a summer program and loved it. I'm in limbo, so I am just WAITING....
A friend of mine recently shared some wisdom with me. She said that we are constantly in a state of waiting. Waiting for a job, waiting for the baby to come, waiting for Mr. right, waiting for the work day to be over..just...WAITING. This really made me think about life and where I am right now in life. I am just like everyone else, lost and impatient.
But it's time I get use to it because the rest of my life I will still be Waiting on something. It's more about what you are doing in the mean time, in this season of waiting. Being still for the Lord, spending quality time with Him, finding other things you are good at or enjoy...Why focus so much energy on one thing when there are so many other joys in life. Like kids! They say the funniest things, are naive and innocent to some of what the world says true. Being around them just puts me in a good mood.
Waiting is also a good time to prepare for what is to come. Look at each situation and get better, because you never know what the Lord is trying to prepare you for. For me during this time of Waiting, the Lord is trying to show me patience, test my commitment to Him, and how hard it is to live without community. I am sure I will need all this practice when I get overseas thousands of miles away from home.
Overall, I am still WAITING and Anxious for the next stage of my life. If only God could hurry up ;)
