Waiting for the Right Timing???? Read this and rate it too!

:)NO AMOUNT OF WORRYING can make things happen, let alone make them happen the way you want. Still, your human nature, bent on trying, rises to the challenge.

What's the remedy for this all-too-common malady? Oswald Chambers, in his classic MY UTMOST FOR HIS HIGHEST, wrote," When God brings a time of waiting, and appears to be unresponsive, don't fill it with busyness, just wait.....If you have the slightest doubt, then he is not guiding."

I know it is hard on those of you waiting, waiting for the money for the band, waiting for the surgery, waiting for appointments, waiting to lose the weight, waiting for solid foods. Just waiting in period and a lot of time living with the Band Challenge for the first year is spent waiting. Until I got a grip on this fact, I was over anxious, dissapointed and very irritable. So I got into a little prayer time and read the bible a little more, and decided that it was time to let God lead me through this journey. And now I am happy all the time and enjoying this road ahead of me.

I am working on the next 10 lbs. and so far all is going well. I have 9 lbs to go! I joined the page Sparkpeople.com as suggested by someone on this site. It is helpful so far.

Truly my soul silently waits for God; From Him comes my salvation. Psalm 62:1 NKJV

Slow me down, God, when I am in a hurry and you are not. Help me walk with you, not ahead of you. Teach me to plant the seed and leave the harvest to you. AMEN:smile2:

Thank you this really hits home for me today. I have to be at peace waiting on the Lord and knowing it will happen in his time. Thanks for reminding me. I get a little anxious when I put things on MY timeline and when it doesn't seem to be happening fast enough I get stressed. Thanks for the word!
