I work in the financial aid department and I have been
getting calls about people’s financial aid for the fall semester that starts in
late August. They want to know why their award letter has not been sent out
yet. They are very shocked to hear that we are still working on the summer semester
students and the award letters will be sent out sometime in July. I want to
tell them to go out and enjoy their summer vacation and go to the lake on a
hike. (Not like “Go take a hike!”)
We are very impatient though.
Sometimes the best thing for you to do and the hardest is
waiting. Sometimes no matter how we think things should be, it is just going to
take time. We need to keep doing the right things we know to do and let God
work things out.
That is much easier said than done. The days are so long and
there seems to be so many days of waiting. When there seems to be nothing going
on I wonder if God has forgotten all about me and does he still remember that I
am waiting? Or I may wonder if I am still going in the right direction. But God,
(I love that phrase!), is still working and I just need to be patient and keep
doing what I know God wants me to do.
Right now, for me, it is praying and reading my bible,
attending school, going to work, going to my appointments, worshipping Him, and
taking care of my children. Those things and others keep me very busy until God
shows me what the next step is for my life.
I have learned this over the last year and a half that some
things just take time. Healing, forgiving and moving on, they are just going to
take time. I will try to keep it simple by just doing what I know to do until
God tells me different. In His time not mine.
