So here it is: another cheesy Christian article about waiting on God and what His plan is for our lives, waiting on your future husband if you are single, waiting on that dream job God has for you, waiting.

Sometimes I forget what I am even waiting for with God.

Maybe this article isn’t even about waiting on God, but waiting on a new season of your life to begin.

I go to a Christian college, where it may seem impossible to be in a bad spot with God, since He is kind of the center of everything you do -- especially if your major is Biblical Studies. But, I can tell you it is possible.

For a good year of my college career, I don’t believe I was where I was supposed to be with the Lord.

My freshman year, I was on fire for God. He revealed to me what my major was supposed to be and why, and I made a vow that year that I would spend time in my Word every day before I got on Facebook or did anything else.

For the next two years, my fire started to dwindle away.

I led a small group for the first time sophomore year, and about the only time I really got into the Word then was to prepare for my lessons. And then junior year was just about the same thing only with even less time in the Word.

Then, around the end of the year, I thought God had finally given me my own "Prince Charming." He was perfect, and he pursued me to no end.

But that was how God opened my eyes. Even when I had this great guy -- the supposed answer to my prayers -- I didn’t feel right. My soul would wrench, and I never felt true love for him. I just pretended and settled because I thought that was what God wanted for me.

In the end, I never thought that this would be how God would open my eyes and show me that I wasn’t in the right place.

But why? It wasn’t like He hadn’t done this before with other guys! Now, don’t go thinking I have had so many boyfriends! Out of the three that I have dated, God has slapped me in the face each time and said, "NO WAY!"

When God did this to me once again, I acted like it was such a surprise; but the next morning I woke up and by the glory of God, He was back!

No, God never left, but I did. It was not until I stopped doing what I wanted, but started doing what He wanted that I felt new. Had I finally entered my new season with Him? Yes, I think I had. In the end, when we are really in tune with God, what He wants is what we want anyway.

I had never felt so much joy and peace as I did in that moment. And it wasn’t like a big experiential moment. It was literally just a new day.

So what am I waiting on now?

Everything and nothing. I believe that our walk with God is just waiting on Him, yielding to Him, but taking advantage of the moments when He shows up and shows off in your life. Let His Word be your breath each day, as if you can’t live without it.

Sometimes it is good for His children to wait. He is only ever good to us, and the only time you will wait is when it is good for you to do so.

It teaches us obedience, trust, and patience. These are His promises to us!

It also shows us just how faithful God is to us… Everyday His mercies are so new.

“Let us hold on to the confession of our hope without wavering for He who promised is faithful.”

Hebrews 10:23
