Moments Worth Mentioning

This past weekend was pretty typical.  I went from one social situation to the next leaving my heart full and my sleep reserves on empty.  This weekend, like the last several months of my life, could be found in the dictionary under “the all american 20-something, single girls dream”.  I sit here and struggle with trying to find something to complain about, minus the lack of sleep of course.  But with all that being said, I have to believe something is missing.  Something that hours of laughing with friends can’t compete with.  Something that a shared glass of wine can’t fix.  Something that a scrapbook filled with hundreds of amazing pictures can’t replace.  Something that I thought I had.  Something that I find myself getting impatient for.

Like always, the timing was perfect as I was reminded at church on Sunday that we are all in some form of a Waiting Room.  We are all waiting for something in our lives.  Be it a new job, for a house to sell, a child, a promotion, a health issue to resolve… or a relationship.  We have all been there, and if we are honest with ourselves, we are probably all there at this very moment… waiting.  Waiting on God to answer our prayers, waiting on a sign, waiting for something to change.  At the conclusion of the message I was reminded that although the waiting is not very fun, it is very necessary.  I found myself nodding my head in agreement.  Because as much as I want to find the missing piece in my life I can’t imagine that I have been prepared to handle having it in my life up until very recently.  As two years have come and gone I can easily say that its taken that long to heal, forgive and learn from my mistakes.  That time has been one of the greatest blessings in my life.  On any given day I may have complained about the circumstances, but as a whole I am certain that my prayers were being answered in ways that only God can understand.  There was a much larger plan in place all along.  

I woke up this morning after a good eight hours of sleep and a renewed perception of My Waiting Room.  I am confident that the days, weeks, months and years ahead will go exactly how they are meant to.  I will find what I am looking for, and more importantly fall in love with the journey.
