There are times in life where I tend to get impatient with God. I think we all experience this at times. In my case, I have gone through a transition in my business that I would describe as a divine intervention in my life. To say that the transition was exciting and terrifying at the same time would be pretty accurate. But, it was also comforting to know that Father God was right there with me in that transition.
That was almost nine months ago and all the dreams of progress – and yes – success have been put on hold. All of my expectations of where the Lord was taking me and my business have seemingly been put on pause. But, I still have a prevailing sense of peace in the midst of my wondering what is going on with this pause in progress.
Just to be clear this post is not about my responsibility to make things happen when given an opportunity. I get that and am working on the plan. It’s about Waiting. It’s about God’s perfect timing.

“If you want to go out in the woods,
and see the night
and know an Owl
and how dark is the dark
and see the Moon
and how big is the night
and listen to the Whip Poor Will
and stay up all night
and sleep all day
and see that the Moon isn’t a Rabbit
and what color is the night
and see a bird fall out of his nest
and fly away in the moonlight
and find another little Racoon to play with
Off you go, for…
The Moon is Full
Trust His timing in all things. Rest in His Peace for you and your family. His timing is Perfect and His Promises are forever. Do not fret, eventually, the Moon will be Full and your Destiny complete.
