Hello sweet friends, it's been a bit, hasn't it? It's been a long time since I've filled this space. I've been waiting... waiting for the time when God would speak to my heart and tell me "it's time".  There is a season for everything and I was so thankful that God pulled me out of one season to climb on the mountaintop of another. That's where I've been, on an amazing mountaintop sharing God's Word and loving people. He took me away from my computer to get messy with real life. It was Amazing, it was Rewarding and my oh my was it hard! I learned so much and was blessed in so many ways. Now, as I sit here I'm thankful for that wonderful season and have found myself settled into a peaceful valley, It's like a lush green valley, with God's love and provision everywhere, yet there are steep mountains on every side, keeping me right here.






I've found myself in a season on waiting, of trusting, and for a busy gal like me, that is hard. Waiting is hard on us isn't it? We live in a world where everything is instant. I get impatient if I wait more then 15 seconds for my browser to pull up Facebook. Waiting is an inconvenience and not something we enjoy. We want it all, right now. Waiting often makes us question if there is a problem. Is there something wrong with my router? Is that why my internet is running slow? Did I hear God wrong? Am I waiting because I heard God wrong somewhere along the way? I've been pouring over this question lately. "God, what is it you want me to do? This valley is beautiful and all, I am thankful for your blessings and provision as I sit here, but what is my next assignment? Where is my next assignment? What is wrong?" 

Have you every felt that way? Like you've been in a season of waiting, waiting to hear from God, waiting for God to show up in some way, yet He is quiet? Well, sweet friend, you aren't alone. As I pondered this this morning, God impressed on my heart the value of waiting, that maybe it's less about us waiting and more about us being willing to trust Him in the process. In the quiet (or chaos) of the valley He whispers, "Will you trust me to work all of this out for you?" "Will you sit here and let me fight these battles for you?" "Will you embrace this season of waiting and worship Me anyway?"


Waiting is hard, but today I'm looking at it with new eyes. Today I want to see waiting as a reason for worship, not because of what I'm seeing but because of  what I'm NOT seeing. I'm choosing to worship and thank God for all the unseen things He is doing behind the scenes to work everything out. Someday I will find my way out of this valley and if you've been blessed to be in a similar valley with me,  you will too. It may not be today or tomorrow, but that day will come. Until then lets thank God for being a God that cares, a God that loves and a God that works all things out for good for those that love Him.
