The presence of God overwhelms me. He has the tendency to bring me to my knees and remind me of how awesome he is just when I start think I can do it on my own. When will I learn that God knows better and is better. I was listening to the local Christian radio station, Spirit FM, and they interviewed one of the newer Christian artists, and he said he can handle when God says no, and he loves it when God says yes, but it's when God says, "wait", that everything gets more difficult. That is exactly where I am right now. I can handle when God says no, I know that he has something better, I'm ecstatic when He says yes, because I mean really, most people like to get their own way, but when He says "wait", I start to freak out a little. I feel like screaming, "I've waited long enough, give me a concrete answer!" But in that still small voice I can hear God saying, even now, "wait Sarah, I have something big for you, if only you will trust me and wait." I am NOT a patient person, I don't like to wait for anything. I don't like to wait in line, I skip those rides at amusement parks, I don't like to wait for pedestrians to cross the road, I don't like to wait for food, I just don't like to wait, but what I forget is that I am missing out on so much. When I skip all the rides with lines, don't you think I'm probably missing the best ones? I think that God is trying to show me that good things come to those who know how to wait, and who do it with a good attitude, because lets be honest, I can wait for pedestrians to cross the road, but we all know the entire time I am cursing their butts for not walking faster. I think that God doesn't just ask us to wait, but he asks us to wait with a joyful heart, and that my friends is the hard part.
