Waiting is Not Easy...this is the title of my kids' favorite book, by Mo Willems. It teaches them that though waiting isn't easy, it is worth it. Waiting patiently isn't just a lesson for kids, we adults struggle severely with being patient during our season of waiting. During this episode I discuss the importance of this season and give you some tips on how to get through it successfully.
Tip #1: Remember where you started and why you started. Sometimes reflection can snap us out of our frustration. You my need to pull out those old journals and remember how far you’ve come. Taking a look back at all the things you’ve accomplished helps you realize that even though you may not be moving forward at this moment, you have come a long way. You also must remember why you set this goal in the first place. This will help you to remember that waiting is worth it!
Tip #2: Learn your lesson. During this season of waiting there are lessons to be learned and growing to do. It’s important to find out what you need to develop during this waiting period so that when your blessing comes you will be ready!
Tip #3: Pray and read God’s word. Praying is a given, but reading God’s word will help you see that waiting happens to the best of us, that there is always someone in a worse situation, and that God always fulfills his promises.
