Are you willing to wait?

There are times when we don't have patience and things we want to happen in our lives seem so far from existing. We wonder when our turn will come and how long it will actually take for it to happen. Learning to wait - for some can be painful or depressing. We have to ask ourselves, "what am I doing during the waiting process"? While we wait on our BIG GOD to move in our life, there is action on our end that should take place. Our actions are to trust more, have faith, pray without ceasing, and most importantly patiently wait.

Have you ever noticed that the most beautiful pieces of art or crafts took time to create? Some puzzles, classic boats and maybe even cars had to have every piece perfectly placed in order to create a new beautiful piece. This is how GOD is....he's perfectly placing every piece of detail in your life together to create that NEW piece of art in you. He has to take his time and we have to wait. God does his best work not on our time but HIS.......Are you willing to wait?


Just my thought for today......


Sincerely Yours,

Ask, receive, I'm scared to take it

I'm sitting here blogging for work, checking project lists and making sure all of my ducks are in a row.  I randomly had a question pop in my head about asking for things to happen, receiving it and then being scared to take it.  Why do we ask God for certain situations to happen in our lives and when he gives it to us, we become scared of it?  Now, I KNOW I'm not the only one that has had this question or it happening to you personally.  You know how you can ask "God, please grant me a new job opportunity or please grant me with financial stability" and when he prepares it right in front of our eyes, we question it?! What causes us to feel scared or second guess what he gives us?  Is it faith? I've had it happen to me before and I couldn't believe how quickly he provided an answer to my request. I mean, I was really blown away. I even questioned it. Just out of curiosity, what do you all think about it?
