80 Days and Counting

How do you truly wait for God’s timing? Especially when you’re talking about a relationship?

I’ve went through phases myself; faithful and waiting, impatient and pushing, and proactive and forcing. That wasn’t God though, that was me. I was not in tune with what He wanted. Part of the time, I honestly didn’t even care.

So I did my own thing, dated who I wanted and invested in guys that would never lead to a relationship. Sure my time was filled; but God, my friends, and I knew I was just goofing around, for the most part. I was “kissing frogs” so to speak.

I liked it though. Even frogs can be fun to kiss. I truly wish I could kiss one right now. It is even more enticing when compared to kissing nothing at all. The problem lies in the deception of kissing frogs. I wasn’t created for that purpose and God wants much better for me.

With God’s Help, I don’t kiss frogs anymore. I have to emphasize that God is helping because I couldn’t do it on my own. Not for one day or minute in some cases.

That leads me to my current status. 80 days and counting. 11.43 weeks of having God given will power. 1920+ hours of resisting the urge to find m old familiar habits. It has not been an easy river to navigate. However, now I have 1440 minutes a day to allow God to work in my life without amphibian distractions. Most importantly, I allow God to help me continue counting until I reach the number that He has set aside. Not the lily pad that I got frustrated enough to stop at on my own.
