Anticipation

Do you ever have those moments in life, where if you waited justed a little longer, something incredible is about to happen? I feel like that today. I feel like I'm on a life hike, so to speak. You're walking through the woods, going up and up, you know you're going to to hit the top of a peak soon, stretching out to this magnificent view, but when? The woods tend to trick you, making you think it's right around the corner, but as soon as you get there, another steeper stretch of trail awaits you. I feel like that's how life is often times. Let me be bold by saying, we (or at least I) do not have the nature to wait. We are a society that wants things, quick and fast. And I feel as if God has been deprogramming me this last month. Saying, "How much do you want these things?" "Are you willing to wait it out, are you willing to be disciplined enough to stick in there?" I choose yes. I say, whatever is about to come about. Whatever I have to work hard for, and wait for is extremely important, and will exceed my expectations.

I'm in Germany, and my time here has been amazing so far. It's been rough for me though. I've become timid and shy. Not knowing the language and the culture has really been hard for me. I've slowly begun to realize that I can't shape the way I am around unfamiliar territories. But in who I know God is to be. That is a strong, unchanging, ever-knowing, providing, and protecting God. He's the one who I will lean on. He's the one who will show me the way. As I realize this, I feel as if I'm a turtle who's slowly coming out of its shell, to make sure it's safe. Only to realize, the sun is shining, and all is calm. And in this place of anticipation, knowing something amazing is about to happen if I stick in there. I will wait! :)
