Why Wait?

So lately I've been faced with this question (in my own brain).... 
"Why Wait?"  Lord knows what I want, but it's just not coming to me. 

 1. I would like a male companion to spend time with. 
- nope

 2. I would like to have a job (at least one that pays).
- nope

3. I would like to have my own space (house/apartment/whatever) to live in. 
- nope

 God keeps on telling me "no"...or at least "wait".... on these things. 
But "why wait?" God knows the answer(s) to these questions, but I certainly don't.

 AND THAT'S OKAY.....

 I don't need to know why the answer isn't "yes" yet. I'm perfectly content with where God has me, He knows best. 

 1. If I had that male companion, I wouldn't be able to help my parents like I do.

 2. If I had that job, the things that are important right now, wouldn't be able to be done. 

 3. If I had my own place, I wouldn't have the help of my wonderful parents to help me raise my son to be a godly man, and that is priceless to me!

 Just because my life...choices...doesn't make sense to other people...some that may say I need to get a job, etc....doesn't make it wrong. Only God can judge that. Things in my life might not make sense to others. Things in your life....God-given things...might not make sense to me. Doesn't make it wrong, just different.

 So...."why wait?" 
Because God knows best and I will rest in that!!

In Times of Trouble

So, I haven't posted in almost a month because, well...I got sidetracked. The devil is good at that. But I'm back! I'm going to share a passage of Scripture that helped get me through my divorce.  It is Isaiah 55:4-17 (*Correction: Isaiah 54. Thank you Lydia :) (4) "Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed: neither be thou confounded, for thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood any more." (5) "For thy Maker is thine husband; the Lord of hosts is his name, and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called." (6) "For the Lord hath called thee as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, and a wife of youth, when thou wast refused, saith thy God." (7) "For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee." (8) "In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but wit...

Afflicted For Our Good?

I was studying today in my Bible in the book of Psalm and I happened upon a verse in chapter 119 that puzzled me.                       "It is good for me that I have been afflicted;                                   that I might learn thy statutes."                                                  Psalm 119:71 I couldn't get past the question in my head of "What does being afflicted have to do with learning God's commandments/laws?"  David, who might have written this psalm, definitely saw affliction, emotionally and physically. Imagine the physical affliction of being hunted like an animal as David was, because Saul wanted to kill him.  Imagine the emotional affliction that David felt because of the m...

Crossroads

I haven't posted much lately because I've been at a crossroads. Crossroads are tricky. Life, in general, has had rabbit trails that I've followed and fallen off the main road. I'm not quite sure I've gotten back on the main road, though. Life is confusing. It's hard not to focus on the "what if's" and the distractions, at least it is for me. Is it for you? I should hope that I'm not alone to say that life is hard to navigate. I am thankful, though, that I do have something that is a help in life. A guide. A path to follow if we only will follow it. A hope that things will be okay and that the walk doesn't have to be this "perfect thing" that we do. I'm thankful for God's guidance. I have more experience with the "single mom" title than I do with any other title. It's quite hard to make the appropriate decisions with no spiritual guide (in the flesh) to help make them. I know that's where God meets m...
