Waiting

Am I the only one who ever gets impatient, I'm not, cool you all know what I'm talking about then. For the last year and a half I've been unemployed for most of it, the first lay off was as 2009 was just getting started, I didn't see it coming at all but I was OK with it, I knew and still do know that God has something better for me, something that is "right up my alley" but I'm waiting to see what that is. After spending 7 months unemployed I got hired at a warehouse driving a forklift. It was fun and met some pretty cool people but alas in December the work that we were doing was done for a few months so once again I got laid off. Once again no problem, God is in control and He knows what He's doing and where I'm supposed to be. So once again back to waiting to see where that and what that is.

A month or so ago I was offered a job in Winchester which to be honest with you never set well with me. Now I didn't mind that the drive to work would be less than half of what its been for the last 15 years but I just never felt right about the whole thing. Went to orientation and still wasn't feeling at peace with it, on the way over I prayed that if this is where I was supposed to be that I'd know, that feeling never came so after lunch I told them that it wasn't for me. I felt free after that and within a week or so I was reaffirmed that I'd done the right thing by some events that happened. I still know that somewhere out there in this big old world God has a plan for me and the perfect situation, I will wait on that. Waiting, Tom Petty said it was the hardest part and I think he's right. I know that its not MY timing but GOD'S timing that is perfect and in His timing I'll be where I'm supposed to be so for now I'll just wait and know that He is in control. It gets frustrating and nerve racking sometimes and during those times the enemy likes to sneak in and try and ruin everything by making me worry and regret and well you get the picture. I won't let him steal this season of waiting, maybe its a good season to grow stronger in God's word or just grow in Him while I wait. So I'll wait, watch and listen.
