Over Wait

I should say, I'm experiencing a major slump. This is not one of my best days because I am over-wait. Yes, the waiting is driving me nuts. It's hard. Indeed, patience is a virtue. Aside from love and humility, patience is one of the greatest and hardest of all virtues. This year, my life lesson seems to be in this area. Not really my strongest point. But one which I (and you) must improve or we die waiting.

Why life is a series of waiting is a great mystery to me but one that I believe gives life the most meaning. Life is a matter of fact, a series of waiting...getting stuck in in the middle before one gets to the end or at a beginning. Before one gets there, one must wait. Oh how hard the waiting is sometimes for someone who wants everything done now.

Let me amuse you, while you wait for me to get to the point. hehehe.

My dear officemate has been waiting nine months for her first child to be born but up to now and even in the fullness of time, the baby just won't budge...it's not just time...a little while longer...how much more... We have been waiting for weeks...:)

The story I have written a month ago will only be coming out two months from now. By that time, I would have forgotten about it. Then there's more waiting for the time to strike signalling the time to go home, and more waiting as you take the journey home.

My bestfriend has been preparing for her wedding since last year, and still more waiting until the fateful day next month. A year of preparation for 3 hours of ceremony (but a lifetime of commitment). As for me, I have waited for my wounds to heal...

But you know what I have realized...

That no matter how long the waiting takes...it still will come!

The baby is born, the wedding date finally arrives, the bus finally gets to your jump-off point, you finally find the one, or the one finds you...the seed you planted ultimately bears fruit and yes the longing heart is finally healed.

Thank you God for the time to wait. For the joy of having waited until the moment arrives, finally! How great is His perfect time. If we only learn to be more patient and not take matters into our own hands. Indeed, good things come to those who wait. The fruit is sweeter and more fulfilling.

I have to remind myself this again when I am about to give up because the waiting takes the toll on my heart. I am grateful for the fact that I have something to look forward to. That the waiting will not be in vain. That it will bear good fruit. And that it will finally arrive soon! hopefully :)

Don't worry if you are over-wait like me. It will surely come as God has promised you.
Most assuredly, the waiting makes the waited on more meaningful.

May your own waiting be blessed! :)
