I've been waiting for answers since the end of January about a career-related situation and have no clue how much longer I will have to wait. I know and believe God has a plan for my life, and that He knows every little detail of that plan...but for my own good, He will not reveal it to me until the time is right. And though it is important for me to plan for the future, my plans may not be what God wants. "Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is the LORD's purpose that prevails." Proverbs 19:21
Knowing this truth is comforting... yet it is still HARD to be in a season of waiting. And it's even worse to be upset about everything when there are so many people in the world who are in much more difficult situations. Yet this is my day to day reality. "This Road" by Ginny Owens (came up on my Pandora station, of course) pretty much summarizes my feelings... with the exception of the first few lines that talk about suffering... because like I said before, with all that is going on in the world, I do not think the word "suffering" applies to my situation. This is painful; it is unfortunate; but I still have a wonderful family, great friends, a home, food & clothes, and for the time being, a job.
So here are my feelings, as stated so wonderfully by Ginny Owens:
In my heart I know your plan is so much bigger
But this small part is all that I can see
And I believe you haven't left me here to wander
Still I can't help but ponder where you're leading me
(chorus)
And I ask why this road
Why this way
And this load
Tell me how far must i go
Till I see
Till I know
Why this road
