Teachable Moments: Waiting

I will instruct you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and watch over you. - Psalm 32:8

Waiting. It is a really hard thing to do sometimes. Especially when what you are waiting for is something you've been anxious about. Right now I'm in a state of waiting. I'm waiting for God to move. I'm waiting for him to tell me what to do. It feels like it has been forever. Some days are easier than others, but today has not been one of those days. In my anxious waiting heart today I decided to pick up a new book and get reading. As I read, Psalm 32:8 stuck out to me... "I will instruct you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and watch over you." In my anxious waiting today I have been asking God what he wants me to do. This morning the Lord gave me this verse, "He says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth." Psalm 46:10 God's words sent to quiet my heart were filled with his fatherly love, yet my heart sank in impatience. I get it. God wants me to wait, right now I am to do nothing. I am to be still. I am to wait. 

Lord, 
I do trust you. I know that you understand my heart's desires and that you work in my best interest. Help me to wait patiently for you to move. Help us all to wait and to trust you in our waiting. 
<3 Your daughter

God sees the big picture, he has an intricate plan, but we must trust him and wait patiently for the right time to come. 


Listen to my instruction and be wise; do not disregard it. Blessed are those who listen to me, watching daily at my doors, waiting at my doorway. For those who find me find life and receive favor from the Lord. 
Proverbs 8:33-35

The Wetherills Say I Do | Guest Post

Founders Note: Today on the blog we have one of our August sponsors Madison of The Wetherills Say I Do . She is also one of my blogging friends, I have enjoyed working with her this month and am excited to continue in the future, she is a sweet girl with a big heart for others and Jesus! Today She is sharing her heart on this months theme: Beauty in the Brokenness. So be sure to check out her blog at the links below! If you've ever heard a group of people share their testimonies, a lot of them have a common thread: brokenness. A lot of now believers had to come to a very low point in their lives before they had their breaking moment of calling out to Jesus. Have you ever wondered why that is? Why is it that so many of us have to hit rock bottom before we'll realize our infinite need for a Savior? I don't know the answer to that question, but I do know that in my darkest moments, I've seen the Lord hand out grace and turn brokenness into beauty. We all tend t...

Hellooo Beautiful

Founders Note: Today on the blog we have our dear friend Katrina. She sent us her post via email and we instantly responded that we were definitely going to use it! Today she is sharing her heart on this months theme beauty, so we hope you are encouraged by her post as much as we were!  So be sure to check out her designs and blog, cause she's awesome!  "You look beautiful!" Cue the eye roll, an excuse or a denial, and if you're lucky, there's a quiet "thank you" slipped in there to keep from being rude. Sound familiar? I've had too many of these encounters, and have even found myself delivering the eye roll to a well-meaning friend.  Why is it so hard to take a compliment like this? " Tell Me I'm Pretty " I find it interesting how Satan will turn the most beautiful things ( I'm talking about  you  here, by the way ) into a twisted, backwards appearance of the truth in our minds?  We no longer see the ...

Finding Comfort in the "Waiting Room"

Founders Note: Today's post is written by our new friend Brooke. Her blog is called "Living as a Single Gal". (you can find the link below) We've just discovered Brooke's blog and we look forward to unwrapping more of the great wisdom she has to share. Without further ado, here is her post... Imagine, if you will, that you are in a waiting room. The room is crowded; people standing, people on chairs, people sitting on the floor; this room is totally packed full. And all of these people are waiting. Waiting for what you may ask? That’s simple; love. You are standing in a corner with some of your girlfriends having some laughs. Then one of them gets called out of the room. Then another. Then another; another one bites the dust. One by one all of your single girlfriends are leaving the waiting room and finding true love. Not only are your friends leaving you, but the rest room seems to empty out significantly. And then there’s you. --...
