Waiting

I am awful at being patient. 

I want to be in control and know what's coming, after all my job title is "Media Buyer/Planner."

Yesterday started the second week of She Reads Truth's Ruth study and today's devotional jumped off the page at me. 

"Waiting as Obedience"

Boom. There it is, that word, "waiting."

Looking back on my short life and career waiting has always paid off for me but it's really hard to look towards the future and have that hope when you're in the moment/present. 

I had to wait three years into my career to find the job/agency that was the right fit for me.

I waited almost a year to find my own place in Nashville. 

And am still waiting to find that person. But after reading today's scripture and the devotional I felt content in my waiting place.

"In your waiting place, cling to the hope that God will not leave our stories unfinished or unredeemed. They may not look how we expected but, as with Ruth and Naomi, our story is His story. We can wait with hope, and we can trust and obey with confidence. Thanks be to God."

After all, who knows what will come your way while you're waiting.
