Waiting

Lately, I have started to realize that much of my life has been wasted in waiting. Waiting is not always a bad thing, The Bible tell us to wait on the the Lord. But for me waiting often gets in the way of doing the things that God has called me to do. I wait for all of the right doors to be opened. I wait for everything to line up and be "perfect." 

I often feel like I don't know what God wants me to do in situations. I sometimes live in fear of doing the wrong thing or making the wrong decision. So instead of acting - I wait. Instead of going - I wait. Instead of obeying -  I wait.  

Much of my waiting is simply a lack of faith. If God only allowed situations in my life that were risk free, I would become faith free. Instead of always waiting, I want to live a life obeying God, taking risks and allowing God to work in mighty and incomprehensible ways.

Yeah - as much as I would like for things to be risk free, I would not want to become faith free!
