yes! 2 posts in one day… amazing huh? and yes, i did say chuch and mornting… lol

so today was the first day that our new pastor preached. not that i didn’t like the old pastor, but i often found it hard to get the message from what he was preaching about. between the awkward pauses, too loud screaming, and broken english, i just couldn’t follow at times. but the new pastor? oh boy! all i can say is awesomeness!

today’s reading came from Psalms 40:1 and the message that the preacher spoke about had to do with waiting. he said that some of us are still waiting while others of us have realized that it was worth the wait. he went on to tell the congregation that about his personal testimony with alcoholism and told us that God didn’t give you a lesson to testify in order to keep it to your self.

i don’t know why this message hit so close to home for me but it did. i can think of so many personal situations to apply this message to. my mom and her eye and waiting for it to heal. me and my pregnancy and waiting to meet my baby girl. my job situation and waiting for the right job for me. my love life and waiting for the man that God has chosen for me.

i’ve always said that this is a transitional time. and it is. i’m waiting for the right things to come at the right time. i’m thankful for today’s message because now that i’m able to recognize this, i can work on getting ready because i know that all the waiting that i’m doing is going to be worth it. the pastor said a lot of important things today. one of them was that “God is always on time”. i love that. in the microwave society that we live in today, we want things to happen when we want them to happen and not a second later. and when they don’t happen on “our” time, we think that God has forsaken us and we begin to lose faith. little do we know that God is working on His time, and that’s the only time that matters.

i was one of these impatient people who wanted things done in a “NY-minute”. i’m learning the value of waiting and more importantly learning that all things worth something are more then worth the wait.

so where are you in life? are you waiting or have you seen the worth in the wait?

be blessed!
