Beauty in Waiting….
I was inspired to write the post after reading Shannon Ables blog post Give it Time: Discovering What is Worth the Wait. It was such an inspiring post. Shannon gave a wonderful list of things she was willing to wait for. So I decided to think to myself and come up with a list of things that I know will be worth the wait for me….
My peony bouquet from last year
1) The peony season, I look forward to this every year! I have already picked up my first bunch from my florist this month!
You can never have too many….
2) Finding blue and white for my home….
3) A 10-day trip to Italy with my family….
4) My husband eating vegetables. I know it is wishful thinking but I am hopeful….
5) A collection of clothes, shoes & hand bags that are timeless….
6) A home beautifully decorated over time….

6) Trusting God with my enemies…..
7) My weight loss….
8) My backyard…. I have a list of things that we are going to do.
9) Putting money into retirement….
10) Personal growth: I have a list of mental and emotional goals that I am looking forward to reaching…
11) Obtaining my Bachelor’s Degree in English…..
12) Becoming a paralegal supervisor for my division….
13) Enjoying my golden years with my husband….
This list could go on and on but I will stop here with my list of goals and dreams that will be worth waiting for. As the Bible tells us “everything is beautiful in it’s time”. And I am telling you it is very true. Enjoy your weekend!

This is a beautiful list of things to wait on. A couple of years ago I was upset because things were not going as I had planned. I realized that I need to pray to God and ask him to work with me. I needed patience on waiting, well he did just that. I have the patience to wait on my dreams and desires. Psalms 27:14 Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord! I am doing the same woth my home and how I decorate it, I love the look of acquired over time when decorating a home. I save so that I can buy that quality piece of clothing and or jewelry. I know my eniemies may talk and say how did she get this or that, but they have no idea how long I've waited, saved and prayed. May God bless you my friend!
May God bless you too! I was doing the same thing you were doing. Becoming very impatience with things. I prayed and asked God what is wrong with me? He said you need to wait for beauty. Just wait…. You will be so much happier when I bring it in is due season. If you rush and get this, you will have to maintain it. Not me. So do you want the best or not. So now I wait.
And as far as my enemies, I have been a spectator to all their downfalls. I have gotten to see all of them fail while I continue on the path. So I remind myself of those moments when a new enemy tries to surface.
