Several weeks ago I wrote the LL “Just Wait” and then was surprised when He asked me to “Just Wait” again. As I’ve said before our HH has a sense of humor because each week as I tried to finish this LL that went from “Just Wait again”, to “Just Wait again and again and again and again.” Hahahaha
Each week I waited and watched as things I never imagined begin to unfold. If you remember, the most amazing thing happened (after I just waited) and was able to set up an “easy” forward on my POB mail [“For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light.” Matthew 11:30] Soon after I realized that my mail was NOT being forwarded, but instead, it was being returned back to the sender! I had to laugh, well, of course, something I used as a LL would (just like when you share praise and that praise goes awry). But always remember, we are being set up, He is “setting you up” for more exciting events—allowing us to praise Him even more!
As soon as I realized this was happening, I realized too that my way was hedged up (Hosea 2:6) so I couldn’t fix the issue. I wanted so much to contact everyone—to at least explain just a little bit of what was going on even if He hadn’t yet shown me the solution. Instead, He helped me keep the gentle (remaining calm) and quiet spirit while He began to wonderfully orchestrate and conduct the most incredible symphony as His perfect plan began to unfold!
With each person who was sending me mail, something different and incredibly exciting began to happen. Probably the most significant was something Lota (our ESP Minister) and I had discussed more than a decade ago! I’d thought of it over the years, but it never seemed to be anything doable—it was simply an impossibility that she and I only dreamed of.
“Now glory be to God, who by His mighty power at work within us is able to do far more than we would ever dare to ask or even dream of—infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, or hopes.” Ephesians 3:20 (TLB)
“God can do anything, you know—far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams!” Ephesians 3:20 (MSG)
And looking at them Jesus said to them, "With people this is impossible, but WITH GOD all things are possible." Matthew 19:26
Looking at them, Jesus said, "With people it is impossible, but not WITH GOD; for all things are possible with God." Mark 10:27
"For nothing will be impossible WITH GOD." Luke 1:37
But He said, "The things that are impossible with people are possible WITH GOD." Luke 18:27
“Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart.” Psalm 37:4
But due to my early praise going awry, along with me “Just Waiting again and again and again and again” my HH allowed me to watch Him do a medley of unexpected fetes that are continuing to expand.
My HH is MY DELIGHT and each morning I wake up to unwrap the day as His perfectly selected gift to me!
Dearest bride, are you living like this? Oh, I certainly hope you are.
Does it mean I never face difficulties or obstacles? Oh my, NO! I do! I face many, many of them, but the difference is, I am (and you are) able to navigate over, under, around, and through them while holding His hand. There have even been times in my life (not recently) when He’s even had to pick me up and carry me in His arms. But even then I discovered that my head was resting on His chest so I could hear the beating of His heart.
Unleashing the TRUTH

Waiting has become a gift in my life! It has taught me the value of trusting in my Beloved for miracles, to kill my flesh, and to worship while I am in the middle. It also brings the blessings of journaling, counting my blessings individually, and trusting!
Having a close relationship with the Lord has made my life easy, joyful, and less stressful, I am now understanding the amplitude of His power, and how much He loves me! The waiting seasons opened my mind to the fact that I never want to be in control, and that in my surrender He can solve whatever comes my way with a huge blessing and testimony behind!
As humans, our lives are so fleeting and short! Our Beloved´s time is not ours! He lives outside our time conception! That is a huge concept because He can turn any situation in a minute and bring tons of learning, hope, and love!
He is always in control! Nothing escapes from Him!! He sees me, He loves me and He is blessing me!
In this world, we will have all kinds of season, but with Him everything is possible!
Our prayers are our source of strength because we are speaking to the lover of our souls! The One that has all the answers for us!
Waiting is His tool to remind us why we need Him!! We are limited but He is not! THAT IS SO GOOOOD!
I am now aware that I am not doing life alone anymore, and in the wait, my source of everything is filling my heart with joy and peace!
My sweet friend, waiting is a blessing! Embrace it!! Trust Him!! Go deeper into His word! Make His promises come alive for you! Trust that with Him everything is beyond possible!!
I am so grateful for all the lessons on waiting that really helped me to understand that there is a purpose in waiting.
I used to want things done yesterday, but I learned that we need to be prepared and mature spiritually for our miracle or breakthrough, otherwise we will not be able to handle it. We need to go through our waiting seasons to grow closer to our Beloved Lord, learn to praise Him and be still knowing that He is working all things together for good. We need to go through the waiting to increase our faith and to learn to lean on Him and hold on to Him. We must get to know His heart for us.
He gave me this verse this week that really spoke to my heart, because if we know what He is planning for us, the picture He is busy painting for our lives, we will go through the waiting season joyfully:
“What no eye has seen,
what no ear has heard,
and what no human mind has conceived” —
the things God has prepared for those who love him”

Avant de commencer ce chapitre, j’étais en train de lire ses propos dans le livre de Jacques. Je partage le point de vue d’Adina concernant ”Nous devons passer par l’attente pour accroître notre foi et apprendre à nous appuyer sur lui et à nous accrocher à lui. Nous devons apprendre à connaître son cœur pour nous”

Jacques 1.4
4 Mais il faut que la patience accomplisse parfaitement son oeuvre, afin que vous soyez parfaits et accomplis, sans faillir en rien.
It is truly wonderful to know the principle of waiting in our lives. At the beginning of my journey I struggled a lot with learning this principle, I wanted to have a restored marriage as soon as possible and get back to where I left off. But His plan is so much better than my planning. He is so wonderful and good at teaching me to wait on Him again and again. Everything must go according to His perfect plan, that alone ensures that we experience the abundant life with Him.
Every time I learn a lesson about waiting, I notice how often I have a plan in my head, which I have to let go of and give to Him. I have been thinking about buying a new couch for a long time, but I felt that it was not what He was leading me to do, because everything I thought of came to nothing. Last week I was walking in a hardware store and suddenly came across a beautiful wallpaper. He told me it would look beautiful with my bedroom carpet and told me to buy it, when I bought it I saw it was on sale and He also led me to pick out a color sample of wall paint. I am so glad He told me to do up my own bedroom!
He is so great and good, when we wait on Him He gives the most beautiful blessing. I want nothing more than to follow Him everyday, and do what He tells me to do, this alone gives us great blessings
