one glance held hostage

i am feeling a little(ok, a lot)weary at the moment. my weeks are full and fulfilling, and they go by quickly. the time that i spend with God is great, though not enough - i've got to keep pushing forward on that one - i desire more. my physical body is tired(especially my eyes)but my spirit has been feeling interestingly light.

some months ago God was calling to me to wait upon Him. He was preparing to show me things and wanted me to be prepared for what was to come. this week He has been faithful to that word. through my physical weakness, God began to reiterate some of what He's been telling me these past few months - that i am in a time of waiting upon Him, that bangor, for me and my gifts is a stepping stone for what the future holds - that's so exciting. what is considered future? i don't know the answer to that one, but God calls on me to wait upon Him. He has given me promises for my life, my gifts in leadership and others...

now i wait. not an impatient waiting; not the kind of waiting you do while searching for something else, but a content waiting. content with who i am in this moment. content with my life and how God is leading it. content with where i am and who i am waring along side. things are falling into place. revelation is coming on words spoken, prayers sent up to the heavens and promises given. this is the best way to wait.
