Willingly
Accept
Immanuel's
Timing
In 2007, The LORD whispered this phrase in my spirit, "Willingly Accept Immanuel's Timing"...
WAIT... Now, four years later, I am remembering His powerful words. I'm realizing all the more that "waiting" is not a season... it is a journey. Oh Yes! It is. You see, whether you are 12 years of age and anticipating your years of adolescence, or a seasoned adult who is awaiting grandchildren, we all must wait.
And... there is no fear in waiting...
A couple of Sundays ago, a pastor shared a profound message on "Waiting on The LORD". As he spoke, I couldn't help but listen to what The Holy Spirit was whispering in my ear once again: "Willingly Accept Immanuel's Timing".
Why is waiting hard? Because it contradicts the "now". Our society is so very FAST!!! Fastfood, latest movies, #1-songs "hit the charts" in only three days, drive-thru restaurants (which... is a pun on words to me)... we are simply so FAST. The thing is, it isn't always the "fast" who "win the race"; It is the slow and steady, the diligent, the patient, meak and humble.
Honestly, I've been driving in both lanes this summer... thankfully The LORD has kept me in one piece while in His peace.
I am slowing down and driving the narrow way...
Making the choice to follow His lead and not speed...
Simply remembering to... yes...
Wait...
"...But they who wait upon The LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint."
Isaiah 40:31

Three things...
peace... patience... unfailing promises

"Hi my name is Anna. I'll be your server." I've heard a variation of that hundreds of times in different restaurants. But puts a new twist on "waiting" for me. Meeting new people in the same environment everyday. Taking care of the community in front of me. Serving it up while it's hot. :) And a lot of refills. :) yesssssss!
Love your thoughts and inspirations.
Love you.
