Huh?

Huh?

Sometimes. Does it ever feel like you do not know if you are coming or going? Where you started and where or how it all may end up? Or down….

Godspeed and waiting in line seems like the same action, the same reaction, the same redaction—in the face of having to wait for the truth to come out. The truth or consequences to be met with an accountability suitable to the offense.

We wait.

We ponder.

We state.

We wonder.

About how much longer we will have to wait.

We assume our time is more valuable than another’s.

Huh.

Do you have the time? To wait. On Him.

I do.

Tempting thought to just throw caution to the wind when our patience wanes. Instant gratification leaves us on empty before we may even know what hit us.

Waiting with patience on Him requires a discipline and a disciplined approach to a weary life of, well waiting.

An intervention? The only plan that really works is God’s intervention. Passive idleness is for the weakling. Jumping head first into the deep end is foolish. The fools rush in when patience and virtue go head to head and toe to toe with doubting.

Huh?

The only timing that really matters is His. His timing. When the feeling comes over us that “now is the time” what does this really mean?

Put another way:

”A lie has speed but the truth has endurance.” I think I just imagined you passing the baton of hope and faith from God to another.

Awesome.

On our most tired days, our desperate moments, we

punt.

Forfeiting and forgetting that perfect submission is the best way to wait, wait it out and wait for the coming of the next “Aha”, I heard Him whisper. Have you taken the time 🙂to consider serving another means to serve and attend to.?

Sprinting to the finish line is not for the speediest. Smartest. Most gifted.

“But those who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary: they shall walk and not faint.” Isaiah 40:31.

Any amount of push-ups and sit-ups alone cannot prepare us for the way in which He uses our time to prepare us for what we never saw coming.

Huh!!!!

Watch. Look. Listen.

Not to be confused with tentacled mess. In Hebrew, wait also means to entwine. An active, present state of being. “Push the issue?”

Huh.

By the time of the sentence, it is uncertain whether the “huhs” are in agreement or not in agreement. The writing is chock full of ambiguous-ness.

Yep.

Is waiting a person, place or thing?

Waiting is a biblically active verb, not just done yesterday, today or tomorrow. But alway. Always.

Perfect submission.

”We are called to wait because the broken condition of the world makes everything we do harder.” (TGC)

This explains a lot. While we all carry different burdens-some heavier than others-when is the moment when we cannot “take it anymore.”

The good news: Never.

Give it all to Him and eventually life will fall into place. A good place.

Sinners never win and winners never sin?

Huh?

Not exactly.

We are responsible for our ability to wait—patiently or otherwise. What are some of the negative drivers of impatience?

Selfish.

Impatience.

Competitive nature.

Driven.

Anxious.

Anger.

We. “ Make it harder on one another in an endless variety of ways.” (TGC)

I. Am not the center of my universe.

You. Are not the center of your universe.

Waiting does not mean the world is out of control. We push an issue because impatience messes with our head in insidious ways sometimes. We act, react and tantrum our built up energies in an attempt to control an impossible impossibility.

We ask for grace, yet we spit in its face.

Huh?

The wait itself is a gift, a gift of grace. (TGC) Except we believe we know better and can bargain with Father Time in stupid and foolish bargain-filled ways. The process of waiting is to teach us how not in control who we are if we just step back and believe in His goodness. Oftentimes, we do not see the gift in the moment because we are not focused and not paying attention.

Waiting is about understanding. It is about you and I stepping out of our little universes and seeing how good life is. This way, we can share the feeling with another who may be more downtrodden or suffering.

There is no such thing as a small act of kindness.

Seems redundant, right?

Huh?

We sometimes feel as if we are repeating ourselves over and over and over😊. He tells us this is o.k. Repetition is a form of active waiting…wouldn’t you agree…or not?

We seek identity, meaning and purpose in wacky ways and places. Thinking that something other than Him helps define us and our days. This is tough stuff and we debate its meanings at tables and worship rooms across the globe. We delude ourselves into thinking we know better.

Huh?

In trying to further explain, can you give me a minute?

🙂

In no way am I attempting to convince you of anything other than the freedom of your own choices to guard your heart and soul. Tough stuff because sometimes we can be our own worst enemy—especially when fear and doubt weigh us down so heavily.

Coming to terms with fear is fearful in and of its self. We rush away from its tentacles in and attempt to outrun its hold on our souls.

Waiting for one breathless moment in time to free us from—

Ourselves. What really is our own expectation of what is “supposed to be.”

How do ya like that?

The manic sprint away from ourselves and alone heighten the chances of fainting two inches before the finish line of our destiny.

We do it to ourselves.

He asks of us to “Stop it.” He reminds us with repetition that He will be at the finish line,

Waiting for us!🙏🏻😃

Slow and steady may win the race.

The good news is He wins the rat race every time.

Huh!
