Everything in me wishes we were sitting across a table from each other. I with my grande white chocolate mocha and you with your favorite coffee or tea.
I would ask you if you were waiting on anything. Specifically, are you waiting on God to complete anything in your life....
Why THAT question? I'm glad you asked. :)
Last week THIS verse popped up in my daily reading and I absolutely loved the timing of it.
For still the vision awaits its appointed time; it hastens to the end—it will not lie. If it seems slow, wait for it; it will surely come; it will not delay. Habakkuk 2:3 (ESV)
God is so faithful. This week I will live this verse. A desire and dream has come to its appointed time. It has been four years since this was placed on my heart.
Four years. Not a long time in the big picture, but at times it seemed like it would never happen. It did seem slow, and honestly last fall, I felt like God forgot.
But He didn't. God does not forget anyone and He definitely doesn't forget when He places a calling on your life. He used a difficult time to remind me that when we are completely surrendered to Him, He will use each and every piece of our life for His glory.
So here I sit, a few days from this vision coming to life. And I am in awe of my God. Here are a few things He has put in my face over the last few days.
2 Peter 3:9a says, The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise
When He starts something, He finishes it. (Phil. 1:6 And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion...)
Finally, this verse. This verse jumped out of my daily reading two weeks ago and I could not get away from it. God kept giving me confirmations, encouragement that YES, this was the time to do this thing..but yet I was still battling some fear about the whole thing. This is what He gave me.
1 Samuel 10:7 Now when these signs meet you, do what your hand finds to do, for God is with you.
God is with you. What else can a girl ask for.
So, I'll ask you...
What are you waiting on? It would be an honor to pray with you during the wait. And an even bigger honor to rejoice with you when the appointed time comes! :)

Amazing!! I am rejoicing with you! Our family is waiting on God's direction about whether or not He wants is to move to AL. The enemy has been fighting so hard...I have been attacked with an onslaught of thoughts concerning my health and even today the spiritual warfare was so intense, I had to leave church early. I am believing God and trusting that His breakthrough will be soon!
Love you,
Patty
I am waiting for the Lord to complete a ''whatever it takes, Lord, for my son to come back to Jesus in a big way'. It has begun. So wait on the Lord and take heart, wait on the Lord!
Thank you, I needed that Scripture about waiting. Bless you!
