When you're in the waiting

What do you do when you feel like you're living in the waiting room of your life? You've lived once before and now you e been stuck. For years. And it seems like your name will never be called. You're watching everyone else move forward. New houses. New cars. New vacations. New clothes. And for you? Same. Seems the choice is to either drown in self pity or choose to stay the course knowing God is good and He's written this story for you. Just enjoy the beauty He's set before you. The sunrise and the sunsets. The oceans and rivers and lakes. The birds that sing a song for you each morning. Even the awesome thunderstorms that stop us in our tracks. The sounds of rain and waterfalls. It's all for you. He loves you that much. And doesn't He deserve praise before petitions? Praise always precedes the miracle.
So as you wait for whatever it is, praise Him for what He will do and make today about Him. Friends He is enough. He is all we need. We need to become like children again and praise Him just because He loves us. Not because of what He may do for us for He's already done the ultimate. Made the greatest sacrifice. Jesus died that we will live. So that's what we do when we think we aren't living. We live for Him. And we watch a sunrise and sunset and chase the moon. And wish on His stars.
