Waiting with His Love and Grace

        The word that God has been putting on my heart lately is......Waiting with His Love and Grace. God has been putting "waiting" on my heart since yesterday morning and He has been putting the words "love" and "Grace" on my heart since last Monday. I feel like God has put a lot of people (aka my friends) around me that are just waiting for things like another job, college, or their dream to come true. I feel like I'm waiting for a lot of things too.
         The things I'm waiting for is to go to grad school again and the way to go, having not just a job but a career, getting married, having a family, and adopting. Those are the desires of my heart right now along with everyone else's that is around me. I can relate to 3 people because it is one or the other of these things. It maybe not just one but two of these things to for that other person.
         It is strange that I'm just thinking the words "Love" and "Grace" over and over again too. It is just that God is trying to show me something through all of this. I have lived my life in His Love and Grace. That's for sure. Everything I have done in my life has been because of His Love and Grace. I will write more about that later in another entry. Then why can't I wait in His Love and Grace and just Trust that He will give me my heart's desires.
          The strange thing is, though, His Love and Grace for me as always been given through me to other people. I guess I never thought about those two things for me. Waiting in His Love and Grace. Enjoying the time in it while I have it to myself. Really, I do have it all to myself most of the time now expect when I'm working with the children or talking to friends. I get to soak in it all by myself and it is fun at some points but then other points I just want to share it. It is meant to be shared.
           While you wait with those two things, it gives you hope too. It says that no matter what happens in the time of waiting, His love and grace will be with me to get me through. To lead me down the right path. To make me see things that I would have never seen other wise. People do just say.....Wait......a lot but they never say it with something of God's. If it is anything it is His Timing but His Love and Grace are most important. It is those two things that keeps you going, not the timing. It is just like the children I work with they are waiting for someone to love them but while they are waiting they are hoping in, whether they believe it or not, in His Love and Grace. It is His Love and Grace that keeps human nature running its course.
             If you think waiting is bad or boring......look at it another way........look at it with His Love and Grace and then you will see things even the small things in that waiting time that could help you get to those things or be better at those things. Sometimes the Wait is not so bad. That is when He grows us the most.
            Friends, wait in His Love and Grace. He will not let you down in the end.
