I know the sayings but I'm still working on being cheerful in the waiting.
I like to plan and organize things so that means there is usually a time frame when I think the thing "should" get done. A desire to "check off the box" and complete the task.
But now there is area in my life which I have no control over and I am learning how to wait....and it is not easy....
I want to see the suffering stop....I want God to help and heal her....but His timing is not my own.....
It doesn't mean that it will never happen....it would just be easier for me and our family if it just "got fixed" now.
But maybe it isn't a "quick fix" issue....maybe there are many layers and walls to tear down, brick by brick so that a new foundation of love can be rebuilt.
It takes time to rebuild....it also takes courage and strength.....for the attacks are great but the battle so important to be fought and won....
"Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult, but with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing." 1 Peter 3:9
"A servant of the Lord must not quarrel but must be kind to everyone, be able to teach, and be patient with difficult people." 2 Timothy 2:24
I am realizing that I don't have enough courage and strength right now on my own.....it is time to ask for help from the source of strength....there is no other way to rebuild these walls....only to talk with the Master Builder.....
"May God, who gives you this endurance and encouragement, allow you to live in harmony with each other by following the example of Christ Jesus." Romans 15:5
