Waiting Room

Well I am having one of those nights where I can't sleep. I fell asleep around four and slept for two hours l, now its 145 in the morning. So I have watched countless episodes of pointless TV shows. So I have found it to be time to be some what productive. The waiting room for me is by far one of the most uncomfortable spots for me. Let me be honest, I hate waiting and I hate not knowing. I've always been that way in many ways. So when I think of the waiting room I always think of how uncomfortable it is. But I also see you are the first to get the news. Through the waiting period you experience things you might have missed. Waiting sucks, but you just might miss something if you don't wait. My waiting room with God. Well let me be honest, I hate it and I am uncomfortable. I am naturally a busy body and I want answers. But I also understand it is essential for me to wait. So a few things I do to help me wait. 1. I learn to have fun with it. Several months ago I hated where I was at. Today I see God at work, while I simply wait. I love to explore things. I love to see things and get to know things. I am the person who loves to watch people. 2. I am learning to trust in the unknown. This is hard for me, I kind of like to know what's next. I am the person that goes the same way everytime to a location. On the way to church, I can tell you the time the train comes and blocks my way. I know the time, but if it's early I become frustrated. I have to trust not knowing. 3. The biggest one is I am not in the waiting room alone. I hate to wait alone. The last several months I have been in waiting rooms. I've gone through some testing and I've had to really be open with people. But I've physically been alone in a room, but in sprit I have not been alone. I have co-workers who cheered me on, I had people at church. Most of all I have God. So I understand the waiting and let's be honest it's annoying! Those who wait are blessed. Alright, I am now tired! Time to sleep!
