Good things come to those who wait. We hear this said time and time again, something others tell us to make us feel better in a difficult situation or possibly something we tell ourselves to keep going. I think there's more to waiting than just the good on the other side and I think we can take advantage of a waiting period or just impatiently wait for time to go by. I've done this, I've let opportunities pass me by and have wasted time in life relaxing or being lazy. I highly believe relaxing has it's place and time, after all, on the 7th day God rested. There's a difference however between relaxing/resting and being lazy and getting around to something that needs to be done when you finally feel like it. It's about being responsible.
To get back to the main point, I feel as if the Lord has Ryan and I in a period of much waiting but also growth. We keep making plans to move forward and the Lord doesn't allow those to follow through, to go how we want or when we want. I don't think life will be like this forever which is the point.
I thought this entry was going to keep going but I'd rather get to the point and move on. I have things to do, read, organize, mail, etc. and I need to start acting instead of waiting and trying to soak up as much me time as I can. I think this is a huge lesson to learn, one I've known and acted on before but also ignored. I know how I want it to go because there can be greatness as I wait on Him. Do I want to live a mediocre life and live day to day or do I really want to get the most out of life and if so then I need to do and act. We'll see where this goes.
