A Season of Waiting
We are in the season of Advent. A season of waiting. And as I'm reflecting on the anticipation of the birth of Jesus, I'm also reflecting on what I'm waiting on and how I respond during those seasons.
All of us are waiting on something and we all experience seasons of waiting. And [insert the Jeopardy theme here] but it can feel like FOREVER when you're waiting. It can feel anxious, it can feel confusing, it can feel scary and we can feel empty. Waiting is hard. And I think it's even harder today, because we have been conditioned to want it now. We want it yesterday. So waiting can feel like an eternity.
When viewed this way, we often miss the lesson during these periods of waiting. It's in those moments that we are being strengthened. That our roots are being deepened and built. We can't rush the process, but we try everything in our power to do so. Waiting seasons teach us something. They are preparing you for the next. So don't rush them, seek out what you can gain from these waiting periods rather than feeling weighed down by them.
In addition to learning from them, know that instead of waiting "for," we can wait "with." We don't have to wait and it be empty, we can lean on others, we can lean on our faith and not go at it alone. And that feels a lot better than doing it by yourself.
Whatever you're waiting on, know that you're not alone. Know that there is a lesson to be learned. Slow down and look for it. And in that, you just might find your answer.
