Last night, I picked up my two cousins from church. On the way to their home, Thomas (who is 4) decided that the we needed to ride with the windows down. I agreed so I roll the windows down and we enjoy the lovely weather on the ride to their home. On the way Thomas noticed something out the window. I hear "OH MY GOODNESS!" I asked him what was wrong. He continues by telling me, "Someone has their tismas(aka Christmas) lights up!". He then continues with, "don't they know it's not timas time yet?!". He then begins to yell out the window, "People! It's not tismas time yet, it's halloween! Don't have your tismas lights out yet!" I throughly enjoyed this moment, it was the best moment of my week! After he was finished informing everyone that it's not Christmas time, I thanked him for being kind enough to remind everyone that it was time for Halloween, not Christmas.
I have a MAJOR praise! I received a call this afternoon that I have been hired at the Creative Discovery Museum. I am SO EXCITED. The Lord literally threw this one in my lap. I wasn't even looking that hard for a job and he gave this one to me with little effort on my half. God loves doing these things, He loves giving us the best when we least expect it. It doesn't happen all the time, thats why it's so exciting when it does! I'm coming to learn that times of waiting are well worth the wait. When we put our boxing gloves away and accept the fact that God wants us to wait, the blessings he has to pour out is incredible! The best part is, the only thing we had to do was wait, he takes care of the rest. If you're in a time of waiting, ask God to help you accept that that's where he wants you. Trust that he will give you the answer you are looking for in time. Because the truth is, just like the seasons, what's going to happen is going to happen. We can't walk around in shorts and a t-shirt in winter because we're ready for summer. It doesn't matter what you do, winter will stay as long as winter wants to stay. By wearing your flip flop's and swim trunks isn't going to rush the winter to move into spring. I feel like that how I handle waiting periods. I try to do something to change the situation I am in, to make it go by faster. But I've learned it doesn't matter what I do, a season's a season and I just need to find a good winter coat to help me until it's summer time. FInding content in EVERY situation is the solution for many of our problems.
"I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little. For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength." Philipians 4:12-13
