Wait

Wait has and always will be a major message of my life. Almost anytime I pray for something big, the answer I get is wait. No yes, no no, just wait. Almost enough to drive someone crazy. In my past, I hated to wait. I would kick and scream and beg God to give me a clear answer now, right now. And while I am still not a huge fan of waiting, especially when it comes to getting answers. (For those who may not know me very well, I DESPISE not knowing things. My curiosity drives me crazy. I love surprises as long as I am not told a surprise is coming. Once I know there is something for me to know, I need to know it NOW!) But for some reason, this time, when getting the wait signal and understanding that the waiting will be a long process, I am not disturbed. Yes, I would really like to know. I would like my future to be realized, but this time it is worth the wait. Most definitely, this time it is worth the wait.

live while waiting, though.
love you.
Most things good are worth waiting for Miss.
except, don't wait too long, because like, if you're waiting for ice cream or a pet fruit fly, waiting will ruin it. but on the off chance you're waiting for wine or antique furniture, waiting could be good.
it's the same with people, i think. sometimes waiting around just gives things/people time to get ruined. in which case, you're probably glad you waited rather than jumping into something too soon. other times, waiting allows things to progress to where they need to be to be better and more fully appreciated. in which case, you're also glad you waited to get something at it's best.
i like you Kimi. i'm really pleased with who you are.
PS the colors on your blog still really hurt my eyes.
good thoughts, Cory. seriously.
I will specially keep that in mind for when we are looking into a pet fruit fly. hehe. you are a hoot.
I am proud of all three + of you.
yeah. I am with you on the colors. but better than black, I say.
i agree with cory about waiting and people. he's so wise. older brothers are good to have and you're lucky enough to have TWO! =)
Heck yeah it's worth the wait...trust me on this one :)
Like you, I've never liked waiting. And most of the time, I don't. And that's not to say God isn't big enough to surprise us and bless us - EVEN WHEN WE DON'T WAIT. But the interesting thing I've found, is that when I don't wait, or in the past, when I haven't waiting, and then God does something extraordinary to bless me, the lesson I learn is this:
I should have waited.
After a few times, it begins to make sense. Is God big enough and great enough to bless us even when we don't wait? An emphatic YES!
But could we possibly be MORE blessed and MORE thankful for something if we had obediently obeyed? I think so.
Then again, I think the times I didn't wait, and then God blessed me anyway, reminded me in huge ways how gracious and merciful He is to me, despite being so undeserving.
And maybe my own experiences have served a purpose such that I can excitedly and refreshingly tell you now: WAIT!
It is SO worht it! =)
sorry, i type too fast sometimes and forget to spellcheck ;)
