Remembering the How

I had to laugh to myself as I explained to some new friends how I started my current line of work. As I told the story it seemed like everything just fell into place. One day I came back from living overseas, the next day I reconnected with a friend, then the next day she asked me to help her on a gig, and the day after that I knew it was a perfect fit, and I sailed happily away into career bliss.

Riiiiight.

It's so easy to look back in hindsight and forget the months of questioning, weeks of uncertainty and all that blasted waiting. But it truly is encouraging when I remember how things really went down. So much of life is spent in the waiting room. Often it's not til time and distance have carried me far away that I can look back and see all that God was doing during that time period.

As I find myself in another waiting room, fighting anxiety, fear, and hope, it's good to remember God's goodness and sovereignty.

My present view is not all there is.

My name will be called up soon enough.

I will have the answers I seek.

The waiting will end.

And I'll be able to see more clearly all that God was doing in me during this season. Til then, my only request is that they get some more comfy seats in this waiting room!
