Still waiting

As I have been observing my last blog title, it has been speaking to me on another level of my life I am also in a waiting mode. Waiting on the Lord. In the past that thought or season in life has sometimes frustrated me. I have always had the tendency to either look back and remember the good old days or look to forward, eager to get to the next place. I have often struggled to find contentment in the moment. Paul has a bit of wisdom on this that he has seemed to have really grabbed a hold of Php 4:11 “Actually, I don't have a sense of needing anything personally. I've learned by now to be quite content whatever my circumstances.”
It seems to me at the beginning of this new season, there is a sense of anticipation of what the Lord is up to this year. Certainly there are areas in my life I am asking God, what is the plan Lord? Interestingly enough, to me anyway, I find myself being content to be in the process…of just waiting on Him. Contentment in the process is fairly a unique experience for me. Maybe this is wisdom finally settling down into me by the mere fact that I have started to reach a certain age in life. I don’t know for sure but it feels more like a God thing, His shaping, His molding, His hand of mercy. I am content to simply pray and put the ball back in His court. Thanks God, it’s your serve.

Php 4:6-7 Don't fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns.
Before you know it, a sense of God's wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It's wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life.
