A Season Of Waiting

God's timing is worth the wait.

Have you ever felt like what you're facing in your life is never going to end? Have you ever felt like the trials of your life were too much to handle? If you feel like you're stuck in a season of singleness, failures, or unemployment -- just hold on. Hold on to the fact that God has something better for you. Tomorrow is a new day and His mercies are always new.

If you're stuck in a season of unemployment, I don't know exactly what you're going through, but I've seen it firsthand how it affects others. My mom was unemployed for eight months. There were times where we thought we were going to lose our house. It was tough trying to provide for three kids without a job. But, somehow every month, God provided. There was lots of praying. When my mom started to lose faith she finally got a call from a company in Hoover and has been working there for over a year now. God brings purpose to the pain.

If you're in a season of failures, know that God restores. He will make you whole again. If you give up your life to Him, He will make your paths straight. God's grace is astounding. There's no mistake that we can make in our lives that will make God love us any less than He already does.

If you're stuck in a season of singleness, just keep pressing forward. He has someone in store for you. Don't settle for less than you deserve. Wait for the one God has designed for you. God's plan for your life is so much bigger than your plan. Instead of trying to find the right person, work on becoming the right person. Your future wife/husband is praying for someone just like you. Someone in my small group told me to fall in love with Jesus first before I fall in love with any man.

Wait for God and His perfect timing. His timing is never early or late. Be still in the season God has you in. Embrace the delay you're in right now. Just remember God will be with you every step of the way.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
