Lately I’ve been waiting for things to happen a lot. And you know what? I might have to wait a while, but I always get my answer. Maybe not right away, but it eventually comes. I’ve always wanted to move to Colorado – it just took a while. It wasn’t the right timing until now. Somehow, it just worked out.
What’s something you need an answer on?
I'm in the same place you've been. i have realized I don't like waiting. I think I'm supposed to wait for a little while longer, I just know where I am isn't where I belong or want to be if that makes any sense at all.
yeah, waiting is stupid so many times
thank you. I hope you don't mind me jumping in here. I'm waiting too. After 20 years of running my own design company….I'm asking God what it is He wants me to do next.
There are a lot of possibilities – all of which I could pursue to "problem solve" , but for some reason, waiting seems to be his answer. waiting is scarey. ya.
definitely scary
Great questions and thoughts here. I hate waiting. i am very impatient. I feel that people and stuff should move at my pace. I have a hard time even waiting five minutes for a response on email or twitter.
But I have been without a job for 5 months and for some reason have been able to be very patient about where God is leading me. It is amazing what he teaches you in the quiet moments of your life.
The answer that I am looking for from God:
Is this mentor project going to take off or am I just wasting my time again?
I’ll be praying with/for u buddy.
Simply a beautiful post Adam, I too often forget that “God is the strength of my heart and my portion FOREVER…”
Keep writing and waiting… I love your thoughts on the your journey.
Paul
Thanks so much
What God does in us
While we wait… As important
As what we wait for

Waiting for my prodigal to come back home. Most excruciating and torturous wait ever….ever.
wow. will be praying
I don't like waiting at all. It's not an easy thing to do. Especially when the rest of your generation is living on their own, driving, paying bills, has jobs and so much more. I have epilepsy and I have seizures that are not easily seen. I phase out and become unresponsive for 30 secs – 1 min, and may repeat words. The drs say that in order to stop the seizures I need to have a type of brain surgery that will take out this scar that is starting the seizures. The big issue is I have no health insurance and no medications help control them. I've applied for medicaid / disability 3 times now and been denied because they say that I function normal and able to work like everyone else. I am currently appealling it and working with an advocacy comp. that knows the ins and outs of medicaid and SSI. I want to be like every 25 yr-old, living on my own, driving, (this may sound weird) but I want to pay bills. I want to pay off my student loan. I don't want to live with my mom. ____I'm grow more and more thankful for what I do have, but I still want the freedom. I still want to be seizure-free, if anything.
