The school aged child "waiting" for summer vacation.
The daughter “waiting” for marriage.
The woman in college “waiting” to start her career.
While we are all waiting for something, our lives should not be put on hold.
What can we do to stay content?
Stay focused on the big picture, this time of waiting is only a short time of our lives.
Our goal in life should be to glorify God in all we do.
Focus on the things Yahweh has given you to do in the season of life you are in now.
While sometimes it is easy to ignore things around the house because it is not ‘ours’, we need to take responsibility for what Yahweh has given us today. “The cookies we bake today are no less important that the cookies we will bake tomorrow”
There are big things and small things to wait for in life.
Some things I am waiting for in my life:
Waiting for February to come, Bethany and I will be traveling west for a month.
I am looking forward to celebrating and traveling to all the feasts this year.
Waiting on Yahweh’s will for my life concerning marriage.
My life is happening right now. My life is making no-bake cookies with Clayton, sorting donated clothes at the thrift store with Emily, going on early morning walks while talking with my mom. My life is going west to assist a woman who is healing her cancer naturally, helping plan and host Bible study/game nights for the girls in our Fellowship, studying to become a Master Herbalist, and writing for this blog.
“God has big plans for us, right where we are. We can be used mightily, right now. Our fruit can be significant, today”

Everyone has something in their life that they are waiting for.
