Waiting in line
I hate bathroom lines…I also hate traffic and shopping lines…and being this the crazy season it is( Christmas I mean) it feels like I am always waiting in lines…traffic lines to get from my house to pretty much ANYWHERE in this city, shopping lines to get even the bare essentials I usually shop for… lines at the gas station…
In this time and day, there’s lines everywhere,but even then I don’t seem to get used to waiting.
The thing is, i feel like I’ve always been waiting…I’ve been waiting to finally get done with school( which i just finally did) and now,i’m standing in line for something different which I like to call ” getting a job” or “the rest of my life”.
I rest assured
And even though this line I’m standing in ends in an uncertain place, and I’m not even sure what’s the price I will have to pay, I put my confidence in God.
To you, maybe, this is ridiculous, unnecessary and even superstitious.But I believe that it is not only about getting a degree( although I do think it is very important) nor is it about having the right friends in order for me to get where I want to be, its about waiting in the right line.
In a supermarket, we have certain quantity of lines in order to pay, and you know for sure what the outcome will be, in life it is different…you can plan all you want, but you’ll never be sure if the outcome will be as you wish it will.
That’s why i prefer to rest assured in God, who has said about me
Jeremiah 29:11
New International Version (NIV)
11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
See, he knows the outcome, he knows where the line ends, and he has paid the price for my future; in this world and for eternity.
The line in life might look long and slow, but as he has said in Habakkuk 2:3
Habakkuk 2:3
New International Version (NIV)
3 For the revelation awaits an appointed time;
it speaks of the end
and will not prove false.
Though it linger, wait for it;
it will certainly come
and will not delay.
I shall wait confident that even if I cannot see my future, it has been already paid for, and He will make it happen.
What are you waiting in line for?
What are your big plans for the future?
