I was recently asked to write something about the guilt I have experienced as a single mom. I’m quite certain that I waxed eloquent about the guilt of divorce and how I have struggled to overcome the fears and doubts that I threw in the towel too early—before God had enough time to work on […]
Don’t you hate it when God uses your own words against you? Let me tell you…this waiting stuff is for the birds! Yes, I say that facetiously, but there is truth in it as well. I am trying hard to keep my eyes on the future prize, but right now it is so hard. I […]

Finally, we are to the final concept of waiting. As a review, when we wait, the Bible instructs us to: 1. Wait quietly 2. Wait patiently 3. Wait confidently 4. Wait expectantly Listen to my voice in the morning, Lord. Each morning I bring my requests to you and wait expectantly. Psalm 5:3 I discovered […]
As for me, I look to the Lord for help. I wait confidently for God to save me, and my God will certainly hear me. Micah 7:7 In the past few weeks, I’ve mentioned that I have found four aspects of waiting in scripture: 1. Wait quietly 2. Wait patiently 3. Wait confidently 4. Wait […]
As I said in my last post, I’ve found four keys in scripture on how we are supposed to wait. 1. Wait quietly 2. Wait patiently 3. Wait confidently 4. Wait expectantly I’ve had plenty of time to wait quietly as I pray that my laryngitis will resolve. Right now, I’m about five or six […]
Over the past two months, I have been contemplating the idea of waiting on God. I have scoured the Scriptures looking for clues as to how we should wait, and I have come up with four important concepts. When waiting, we must: 1. Wait quietly 2. Wait patiently 3. Wait confidently 4. Wait expectantly I […]
If you look up the definition of the word “wait,” it says to “stay where one is or delay action until a particular time or until something else happens.” We live in a society that values activity; therefore, waiting is an unnatural activity—or lack of activity. However, isn’t most of God’s word—aren’t most of His […]
This is the day the LORD has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24 What a day it has been! This morning as I turned on the news, I learned of the crash of a medical helicopter. I watched in horror as the pictures of the mangled and burned machine flashed […]

The point in waiting is to enjoy To love and worship God In act of your life Including the waiting. And in the waiting Remember His nature That He is the Giver of every perfect gift That He desires to lavish on you with such treasures Treasures that are worth the wait Solely because He […]

I know I promised more on waiting for God, but I think I am going to take a short break for some light-hearted moments from the life of a single mom. I will return to the subject of waiting in a few days. For now, I would like to introduce you to my children. I […]
