The Waiting Room

At every point of our life,

we are constantly waiting for something

be it career, education, an event or even someone...

I was asked what are some of the things i've been waiting for

n how long have i been waiting for it...

My answer was

The salvation of my family - 8 years

Graduation - 2 years

Life partner - 22 years??LOL

And the little things such as sleeping time - 24/7

etc...haha

So what does waiting actually mean to u?

I looked up the dictionary and here are some definitions i found

-To remain or stay in expectation of-

I am a very impatient person...
I always expect things to happen fast according to my expectations...
I just dun like waiting whether izit for de arrival of some ppl
(which explains y i'm always late..hehe...=p)
or especially when i get stuck in a massive jam...
argghhhh...it makes me vomit blood getting stuck in a traffic jam...

But for the bigger things in life,
i'm proud to say dat i've been quite successful in waiting...
Generally, i tink nobody likes to wait...
Waiting isn't an easy process even for me
especially when we really hope for sth to happen...
We pray daily n for a long time...
Yet we dun see any obvious signs or results from God...
Then there are times where we begin to feel that its impossible
and decide to quit waiting...
enter the panic room n desperation sets in...
We start making our own decisions n do things our way...
We dun mind settling for the second best...
simply bcos we do not wanna wait any longer...

It is normal for us to feel this way n expect things to happen our way i guess...

Dun dwell in in it ofcoz.... EMO!!!

-To remain or be in readiness-

However, we can never expect things to happen the way we all want it...

What we hope for may not be wat God wants for us...

There is a purpose for the wait...

Y wud God want us to go thru the waiting process rather than fulfilling His promises right away?

Y wud He want to waste His n our precious time rite?

Waiting cant be just about the wait

God builds us through the wait

so dat we wud be able to fully enjoy the fruits of His promises when its fulfilled someday..

God never say dat it'll be easy in the waiting room...

It takes us Faith for God to fulfill His promises

So if there's no way we can shortcircuit the wait,

y not we cherish dis period n equip ourselve to be ready for God's marvellous plan?

Pray that we'll be able to accept God's plan for us with pure joy watever it may be...

For all glory goes to Him...

-To remain temporarily neglected, unattended to, or postponed-

If this definition is wat waiting means to u,

then lemme share a bible verse with u

Trust in the Lord with all your heart,

and lean not on your on understanding;

in all your ways acknowledge him,

and he will make your paths straight.

Proverbs 3:5,6

As for me, I'm going to wait patiently upon the Lord...

And be ready for His Great Plans for me..

Hehe... =p
