Ok. Is it just me or it is really hard to wait for things that we really want. I can surely testify on how hard it is to wait. Honestly, I can not stand it. I often tell God if He will just tell me what He is planning then I will gladly wait on it. I guess He knows better, because He is still not telling what He is planning.
Recently, Justin and I have made a really cool discovery. Over the past several nights we have gone out to our backyard to let our little puppy go potty. Justin pointed out that there is a very large spider web right outside the door strategically posted around the flood light that illuminates the yard. This spider is big and I mean BIG. On the first night of seeing the bug, I wanted to kill it instantly. Let's just be honest, spiders are creepy. Well, Justin was curious, so I left it alone and went inside.
Over the past few days we continue to observe the web. Our stays outside with Shady has lengthened since we have begun the watch. Something occurred to me tonight as I watched the web and nothing happened. This spider has to be very patient to get what it wants. It might be very very hungry but still it waits. The spider has no idea how long it will have to wait. As I watched, it seemed to say,"I will wait all night if I have to. Heck, I will wait all night every night. What ever it takes." Well, I have known God to speak to me through lesser subjects, so...
"Yes, Lord, I will wait all night, every night, if I have too. What ever it takes."
Also, I am reminded through watching this spider, God still provides. He is providing for this spider and many other spiders out there. I know God is going to provide for us. I know God has a plan for us. No, I don't necessarily like to have to wait on it. But, I feel better knowing that He is there, and He knows I am here waiting.

Very true! There have been times in my life when being patient and waitng was one of the hardest things to do! I must always remind myself God's plan is far greater than what we try to plan for ourselves!
