2.28.25 - waiting is a gift from god
Good morning ,
I meant to write to you earlier this week but my email account got suspended due to unsuccessful payment. Unfortunately my business credit card got canceled due to fraud so all my monthly payments for business expenses are failing smh. The new card still hasn't come but I was able to use another card so that my email account could reactivate. Anyways, other than that it's become a great week, and it's Friday!
But it didn't start off that great. Last week in bible study I was lovingly told that all my problems are going to take time to get worked out. My response was "no, I just want to get to the good part."
It sounded like a joke but I was dead serious. Who has time to wait around? I just want things to be better and the sooner - the better.
What I found since then is there is power in the waiting. The power is not found in ourselves but us learning to lean on the power of God to strengthen us during times where we feel overwhelmed.
Ironically, I started reading this book, Cultivate, about a week or two. It's about understanding grace and building an intentional life according to God's will.
I'm learning that everything won't always get done. I won't always know the answer. And I surely won't move into my better if I don't slow down and allow God to heal my heart.
I'm learning to enjoy the right now. I'm learning to have grace for myself (yay) and to have more grace for others. I'm learning that the waiting is what actually makes us appreciate the better.
I found myself so wrapped up in what I want things to be that I was losing sight of the beauty of right now.
I think after all my trauma from my abusive relationship I was just so glad to restart, and be in a better place. I didn't realize I still needed to heal, because who actually wants to do that? (not me) I had no idea that my brokenness was preventing me from really experiencing everything God has for me. So after bible study I decided to ask God to help me heal, and actually face healing this time.
I love that I'm here, and I love that you are here with me. It's been really hard but this weekly email has given me a space to share my thoughts, my struggles, my testimonies and my journey with God. I hope it's encouraged you along the way.
