"I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in his word I put my hope."

Psalm 130:5

Sometimes I wonder why i need to wait for things that in my heart I want to happen right now. Sometimes I'm like an impatient child pitching a fit with my daddy because i want that thing, whatever it is, and i want it now! In my human mind I'm not able to comprehend all that God has planned for me.....that's where my faith in him steps in. I know he has great things for me...His word says so. I know that His word says if I seek him he will give me the desires of my heart. Well, sometimes we tend to misread that verse don't we? Maybe it's not that he gives us what we want, but He gives us our desires. Before Christ my desires were NOT the same as they are now. Some of the desires I have now I actually wonder were they may have come from....like my ministry for instance.....before Christ it was NOT my desire to give my life in reaching a generation that most say is unreachable, but God had a different plan and I am so very blessed that he did! When we follow Christ God GIVES us desires that will help further HIS kingdom. And he gives us the desires we need to reach our full potential in him. But there are still times when I have a desire that God has given me, but if it's out of his timing it's not what I need at the time that I think I need it. And sometimes I try to make those things happen........that don't work either!! God opens doors that no one can open and he shuts doors that no one can shut.

So......I wait for the Lord. He knows my heart and he GIVES me the desires of my heart and he fulfills them in his perfect timing. He is my strength and my rock......in Him I put my hope.
