Waiting

Waiting is not something that many of us are good at.  As americans we are used to the immediate gratification of fast food, instant apps, drive thru coffee, buying a book on your phone or computer and any of the many ways we do not have to wait.

Making room for God is by it's very design a process.  It is personal to each of us and God calls us each by name.  What do we miss when we don't allow ourselves to wait, to anticipate, or ultimately feel the unbridled joy of receiving?

How is God calling you to wait?  What are the places in your life that feel restless?  Perhaps feelings of resentment, jealousy or envy creep into the recess of your mind and heart.  Maybe fear manifests itself as insecurity, control or self sabotage.  Each of us has experienced these different things at times in our lives.  Advent is a time to reflect on the many blessings that we have, to sit in the waiting and dare to dream.  Share your dreams with God, allow yourself to pause, breath and wonder.  Where is God calling you to change your life?

Waiting.....Is there an app for that?  I don't think so and for that we can all be very greatful.  What are your dreams?  God is waiting......
