My daughter told me the story of a college student who had to see one of his professors about an urgent matter. The secretary was expecting the professor back soon. The student waited. One hour slipped by and the student began to get tired of waiting and decided to leave. Guess what? Two minutes after the student left the professor came into the office. Only 2 minutes later. Waiting is hard to do Today, I want to encourage you to hold on for the thing you are hoping for. A change is coming your way. You may be at your wits end and cannot see the of the road, do not get afraid or nervous, frightened or give in to your circumstances. Everything or everyone might have failed you, your expectations might have been dissappointed in the past but do not give up. Stay put, try again, ask again and you will get a breakthrough. While waiting Keep your focus, pray daily for God's help and guidance, read and practice the word of God, stay in his presence and hope in his love and goodness. WAIT...

Be Still my Soul by Katharina Schlegel (Verse 2) Be still my soul; your God will undertake To guide your future as in ages past Your hope, your confidence let nothing shake all now mysterious shall be bright at last Be still my soul the waves and wind still blow The Christ who ruled them while he dwelt below

As each day brings with it a sense of order, God's divine plan unfolds (for his creation). For some it is a season of joy and laughter, for others pain and grief. Whatever the dawn brings we rise to greet it with grace and gratefulness, pain or solitude, as we comfort ourselves in the awareness of his presence and his loving care for us all, knowing that our excellent creator knows and does all things well. We look to him in praise and gratitude seeking his help to walk with the same gracefulness in joy or in sorrow, knowing that whatever state we are in, it is but for a season. We understand that seasons come and seasons go, but through all the changes we keep strong as we remain in his presence, in prayer, whether silent or verbal. He is always there for us.
