I have a decision to make very soon that might, if I decide to do something, will place me in a role of working with more people in a leadership capacity. I have to consider my husband, our health, and my time in this decision.quietspirithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06086016141181470311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3633687387688783587.post-21753991764067227392013-12-09T09:04:27.924-05:002013-12-09T09:04:27.924-05:00Janette: Thank you for your kind words.

I used to stop trying to write when I had to take care of my dad and stepmother when they were still with us. It will soon be 14 years ago that I had to tell God, "Lord, this is my life right now." I didn't feel I had cheated God when I had to give up a position in our then-church. I didn't feel I was neglecting my husband and our son when I had to do something for my dad, his wife, or our cousin. (Yes, at one time, I had responsibilities taking care of three senior citizens.)quietspirithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06086016141181470311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3633687387688783587.post-91002704741691338182013-12-08T19:52:48.451-05:002013-12-08T19:52:48.451-05:00I think most of us have problems with being patien...I think most of us have problems with being patient. Since I'm on a tight schedule, waiting is a real test for me. Like you, I carry a book or something writing related. It makes me feel like I'm not wasting my time.<br />Susan J.

I like what you said that the waiting may be for a reason: "Certain times, I have to wait because I am not ready or the time isn’t right." God knows when we're ready and His timing is always just right!

It brings us comfort to remember that we're on God's schedule, right?<br /><br />There is a direction I very much plan for my life to take but have to wait to walk down that path. I have to wait until the time is right not just for me, but for others in my family who depend on me and who'd be greatly affected (negatively) if I don't wait patiently for the timing to be right in their lives first. When I remember that my choices affect those I love, it helps me to wait patiently for the right time to make certain choices. <br /><br />Thank you for this post. You always have a way of speaking to your readers' hearts! Be well.JDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05234966786590125696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3633687387688783587.post-80600912283542420252013-12-07T10:14:33.777-05:002013-12-07T10:14:33.777-05:00I enjoy going back and reading those thoughts of &...I enjoy going back and reading those thoughts of 'back in the day.'

I've been learning that waiting on God always has its own rewards...sooner or later. It just takes faith knowing that God is always working on our behalf, whether we can see it or not.

But you are ever so cracious Cecelia! I am still learning, too. A wonderful and affirming reminder. SO appreciate you being ready to go with a journal share this month. Well, best wishes with all of those "plans" and the play- I am sure you will get it all done...in His time!
