In the Waiting Room,In the Valley,Trusting God~

    Good evening readers. I hope you all are doing well this   chilly evening, stay warm and know that you always being prayed for.  Tonight’s blog entry I wanted to write for quite some time now because it talks about what my husband and I are learning in our Marriage together and in our Spiritual walk at this time in our lives  .Tonight’s topic is called    “In The Waiting Room”

   I recall a couple of years ago my husband had to have day surgery on his ankle, nothing  serious, but he had a bad bone spur  that was making it difficult to walk around  it was really starting to cause him a lot of pain. After I kissed him they wheeled him into surgery and then I sat down in the waiting area and I waited…I waited anxiously to hear how the procedure had gone. My mom was waiting with me, if I recall it was about 2 hours from the time the procedure started, to when they brought him to recovery and then I was called in to see him finally. I knew he was in good hands, I knew the doctors knew what they were doing, but I was still a little nervous if I’m honest.  The waiting time that was the hardest part, just not knowing, having to trust that he would come through and his ankle would be better.

Many times in our lives, we may feel like we are in a waiting room. We Wait on God to answer, to come through, to guide us in what direction. We seek his face, we read his Word, we come before him in prayer and then its silent, silence and we wait. I know it can be a scary place to be, not knowing how God will provide, you know HE will, He has in the past,  but you ask yourself, how will this situation work out, fear  creeps in you start asking  the what ifs?

  Then there are times when the waiting is a lot harder, because we feel that we have been praying the same prayer and it may feel like were no closer to answer than before. The days may be long and the nights may be very dark we find ourselves on our knees crying out to God. The waiting room is dark and quiet we wait for the news, many times circumstance out of our control He says wait be still and know IAM God!

 Sometimes all around us I is chaos, but somehow in the midst of that trial we feel PEACE that drenches our spirits. God sometimes allows us into troubled waters not to drown us, but to cleanse us and bring us back to him or give us new perspective and help us grow.

This is where my husband and I are right now were in that waiting room, we have to let go of  our fears and be still before God and listen for that still small voice that a whisper not a loud shout. We do not know how things will turn out, but we know He will provide all things in his time! In this time, we seek his face and we pray without ceasing.

Its in the valleys, prison cells, and the deserts that God raises up warriors of faith. Are you in the waiting room right now in your life? Read Psalm 46 1:3, 7.

Our God is sovereign! His timing is perfect! Were not waiting for him to show up in our situation, he is already there, we are holding onto the plan he is now working out in our lives! WOW what a concept to think about and reflect on while you are in your waiting room. Makes me think of the song praise you in this storm, no matter what we go through HE is always there, sometimes he is the God of the 11^th hour, but he will give us the strength to wait and part of our faith trusting He will bring us through one way or another!
