Trust & Wait

Trust and Wait--
These two words describe what I need to be doing. Trust that God has a purpose and unique plan for my life. Trust that His time IS perfect. Trust that God will provide. Trust that God will lead me. Trust God. God has been whispering in my ear, "Wait. Wait, my child." So although it goes against every desire and every fiber of my being, I will wait. I will wait in God's overwhelmingly sweet presence. I will wait. I will no longer determine my own steps. No longer will I be fed the lie of independence apart from Christ. I shall wait.

John Burroughs wrote this poem that is very descriptive of what it means to wait.

Waiting
By: John Burroughs
Serene, I fold my hands and wait
Nor care for wind, nor tide, nor sea
I rave no more 'gainst time or fate
For lo! my own shall come to me.

I stay my haste, I make delays
For what avails this eager pace?
I stand amid the eternal ways,
And what is mine shall know my face.

Asleep, awake, by night or day,
The friends I seek are seeking me;
No wind can drive my bark astray,
Nor change the tide of destiny.

What matter if I stand alone?
I wait with joy the coming years;
My heart shall reap where it hath sown,
And garner up its fruit of tears.

The waters know their own and draw,
The brook that springs in yonder height,
So flows the good with equal law
Unto the soul of pure delight.

The stars come nightly to the sky;
The tidal wave unto the sea;
Nor time, nor space, nor deep, nor high,
Can keep my own away from me
