The Waiting is the Hardest Part... Or Not

So, here’s the great thing about waiting… There is not much you can do. 

I wish there was something I could do, but there’s not. 

Instead of feeling frustrated with that, I’m feeling freedom. No heaviness. All pressure is off. Side note: This is similar to how it felt when I gave up being a perfectionist. (I say that as if it was a simple decision one day. J ) Letting go of the pressure to be perfect allows me to just trust in the One and Only who IS perfect.

I have zero control. God has all control and it’s His timing that will prevail. So I can sit back to enjoy the ease and abandon that comes with not being in control.
 “Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.”  Matthew 11:28-30
