Brynna (UGH. Seriously?!? I’m not good at waiting!)
This is the season my family is in. It’s hard. It’s wearing on us. It’s causing tension between my husband and me. It’s distracting me from our homeschool. It’s making me anxious. I’m frustrated and stressed. God has brought us out of our own little Egypt and now it seems we are wandering in the desert. We could get out, but it would mean returning to “Egypt” or essentially building a new one. We don’t want that! We want the Promised Land that we’ve been delivered for. But we’re not there yet.
This waiting stuff is SO DARN HARD. And yet, in the Bible, there’s something like 28(?) verses specifically about waiting on the Lord.
I’m trying to respond Biblically, but it’s like I have to constantly keep myself in check or I just slip back into all those unhealthy, and often sinful, responses. I know that ultimately I don’t WANT my timing or to live by my standard because I’m really grand at messing things up. I want it to be God’s, I want what HE has for me and for my family. I want that love and those promises.
But I still battle. Pray for my family, if you don’t mind!
Are you in a season of waiting? What does that look like for you?
This isn’t inherently based on waiting, but I wanted to share this sermon by Voddie Baucham, because it spoke to me in all the ways I’ve been waiting for.
