Waiting

Waiting for something is one of the hardest things in this world to do.  Especially when everything is so available right at our fingertips.  We have phones that can do almost anything we want and more.  If our phone acts up we post statuses on our social media accounts (which connect us with the world immediately) with hashtags that say how hard our lives our and how much they stink.  Fast food restaurants are flourishing because we want what we want quick.  My point is that it is hard to wait for anything for many of us.

I'm no exception to this either.  I love to go fast and get as many things done in the least amount of time.  Lately though both my wife and I have felt God telling us to be still and wait.  I have felt God telling me to stay where I am and just do the best where I am right now.

I love to dream big!  I have huge dreams for my life.  It's not that I am cocky, but I am confident in how God has made me.  Because of this I'm always thinking of the next best thing.  Always looking how I can make more money or be more successful.  Because of this I find myself trying to do things on my own and not always being still and hearing what God has to say.

One area I know that I have to become more faithful in is my finances and to have faith that God will provide for my family.  One thing my wife and I love to do is tithe and we are faithful in that but we do not always spend the rest in the best way possible.  I'm also always looking at what I can do, job wise, to make more money.  God continues to tell me to trust Him and finally I'm starting to really hear and listen.

I know that I'm called to ministry work and LUVnLUGZ specifically and I must be open for God to lead me into that.  Right now in my life I'm where I am and while I'm there I will do my best and work to glorify God in my life.  I have no idea where God is going to take me and my family but I will trust in Him!  While I'm waiting I will not just sit still but will work to dig ditches that God will fill!
