psalm 27:14
14 wait on the Lord;
be of good courage,
and He shall strengthen your heart;
wait, i say, on the Lord!

the meaning of "wait" here isn't a lazy, passive waiting, but rather an active stepping back, handing over our current issues to God, and wait for his will to come to pass through us! His timing is perfect! i love it whenever i start to get stressed, or get a little unhappy with how things are going in my life, and the minute i change my mindset and focus on Jesus i get stronger. stronger in him and stronger in my faith. waiting for something only makes it better when it finally arrives! that's why i want to wait on God's timing and not my own because i always want something premature or too late. but God is so good! he'll make us wait for him to speak, seek him out, and in the meantime we get a stronger love connection with him. whatever God has in store for me--whether it be what classes i take at school, where i live next year, what job{s} i get over the summer, who my friends are, my future boyfriend and then husband, etc.--i know it will be great. and frankly, i'm not in any hurry. i'm going to lean back, study his word, get to know him more through prayer, and well....simply wait.

I love your growing relationship with Jesus, boldness in sharing what's on your heart, and freedom and patience in the Lord! I love you so much twin! Thank you for sharing everything God is sharing with you...you bless me. <3
Love that!!! I choose to wait on the Lord for healing and be joyful while I wait!!
yes, waiting can be so tough. I'm reminded often of God's perfect timing and plans for my life. Every time I start to worry about how something will work out, I remember that no amount of worrying is going to do anything for me and *no matter how much I mess up, God's plan will still happen*. That gives me so much peace about everything in life.
