Waiting for God

His plan is better than mine. His ways are higher than mine.

Waiting for God

We hear people talking about waiting on God's timing all the time. I talk about it too. It's because it's true. God's timing is much better than anything we could ever put together. We get ourselves in such a mess when we jump the gun and don't wait for what he has planned for us. Just think about Abraham. Instead of waiting on God to bless him with a child by his wife, he decided to have a child by someone else. This foiled God's plan, and all because Abraham and Sarah were too impatient to wait. The same thing happens with all of us today.

It's true in so many aspects of life that God's timing is best, but the one that comes to mind the most is finding a spouse. Some people set unrealistic goals for themselves and think they have to be married, have a great job, and a nice house all before they're 25 or whatever age they choose. People go out searching and make it their goal to find someone, and often they settle for the wrong person. This is not how God intended it to be. He never intended for us to find the first person interested in us and date just for the fun of it. I know God has better plans for me and for you. I know he has someone picked out for me who loves him above all else and will love me second. I don't want to settle for anything less, and I hope you won't either.

Wait for the man/woman who puts God first in everything.

Wait for the man/woman who will love you like you deserved to be loved and will always lift you up.

Wait for the man/woman who you think will be a good father/mother for your future children.

Wait for the man/woman who you think you can spend forever with.

Wait for the man/woman who will only lead you closer to God and never turn you away.

Know your worth. In God's eyes you are worth everything.

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!
