As Alex and Chris get closer to becoming a married couple, I'm getting to spend huge amounts of time with Alex helping things come together, but also just hanging out. In the process I am quickly realizing why God provides us with friends who love Him just as much if not more than we do.
Tonight I had a conversation that left me extraordinarily confused, and knowing that it would be taking place I set up an afterparty with my dear friend Alex. As we sat and talked she stroked my hair and wiped my tears. She shared wisdom and advice. And best of all, she told me to wait on the Lord.
What?
Wait on who?
The Lord?
While I was in Colorado it seemed to normal to spend an hour a day with Him and wait for His voice. I've not even been back for two weeks and already I find myself inundated with things that claim to be more important that Him. And now He expects me to wait on Him? I wait on customers at work, but only because it's my job. I wait on the silly people who drive 60 on the freeway, but only when I have to or when I'm feeling really poor and want to make my gas last. I do not wait well.
It's funny to me how our Father knows our weaknesses and tends to remind us of them just as soon as we're feeling confident and a bit prideful.
