Can I just say that waiting is one of the things that stresses me out the most. I am not talking about waiting in line, but I am talking about waiting for things to come together. I know that I am not alone in this, but sometimes it feel like I am.
Why is this an issue you might ask...well I am in this stage of waiting. I am graduating school in June and still have no idea what is coming next in life. Also I am trying to get to South Asia, but having to wait on God to provide the funds to go. In recent days I have felt like I am just doing nothing except going to school.
In my normal methods at this point I would be furiously planning and making hundreds of back up plans. This planning is something that I am good at, but it has been pointed out to me recently that my planning was becoming an idol. I was doing the planning more than anything else including going to God for the plans at times.
So after some very wise council I have been taking a planning fast...I have to be reminded daily that while I am not planning God still has a plan in the works. When I look at the amount of funds that have come in for my trip is only 10% of what I need by June, I have to be reminded that God is still working. I have no idea how or what God is going to do to make all of these future plans work, but I have to have faith that it is going to work. So now God is helping me learn to wait on Him and those around me to see what God has for me.
