We may feel a sense of urgency. We may want to resolve the issue by doing something- anything now, but the action is not in our best interest.
Living with confusion or unsolved problems is difficult. It is easier to resolve things. But making a decision too soon, doing something before it's time, means we may have to go back and re-do it. If the time is not right, wait. If the way is not clear, do not plunge forward. if the answer or decision feels muddy, wait.
In this new way of life, there is a Guiding Force. We do not ever have to move too soon or move out of harmony. Waiting is an action- a positive forceful action.
Often, waiting is a God-guided action, one with as much power as a decision, and more power than an urgent, ill-timed decision.
We do not have to pressure ourselves by insisting that we do or know something before it's time. When it is time, we will know. We will move into that time naturally and harmoniously. We will have peace and consistency. WEll will feel empowered in a way we do not feel today.
Deal with the panic, the urgency, the fear; do not let them control or dictate decisions.
Waiting isn't easy. It isn't fun. But waiting is often necessary to get what we want. It is not deadtime; it is not downtime. The answer will come. The power will come. The time will come. And it will be right.
Today I will wait, if waiting is the action I need in order to take care of myself.
I will know that I am taking a positive, forceful action by waiting until
the time is right. God, help me let go of my fear, urgency, and panic.
Help me learn the art of waiting until the time is right. Help me learn timing.
I found this passage in my binder that I had gotten in rehab. After reading this several times, I felt as if I should share this with all of you. Patience is something that not many of us have. This has helped me look at things a little bit differently. Even though the things that I want now may seem what's right at the time, they may not be. Everything happens for a reason. That's why we take a step at a time to get through life. God puts people and things in our life and sometimes takes those people or things away. As much as I wished for my grandparents to be at this Thanksgiving Holiday this past week, I must understand that they are in a better place. They are no longer on this earth trying to figure out how to handle or deal with things anymore. They have lived life's lesson and fulfilled God's will. They both impacted my life, and I could never be more thankful to have spent the time I had with them.
I forget to look at the bigger picture of things. Yes, my grandparents are gone now. And yes, that is hard to deal with. Now, I have time to spend with my family. To get closer with my family. The time is now. Even though the things I want I may never get, but God intends to give me better. And I have faith one day, I will see them again. And when that daycomes I will be happy. Until then I will still be happy and forever live the life I intend to live.
