I found this document on my computer today. It was a refreshing reminder and a little bit of inspiration for me today. I am still not feeling well, slept right through Carol getting up this morning and her taking Kyle to the bus stop. Hopefully some sleep tonight will get me back in forward gear. Figures last night was one of those sleepless nights, God turning my heart, talking to me and giving me something. Why doesn't God talk to us during the day, like when we are away! I guess because we are quiet, still and what else do we have to do at 2:45AM Right?
Anyways, enjoy....

When God waits
There are a lot of why questions that we lift up to God. Every day people are looking to heaven and crying out in frustration, "Lord, why aren't you doing something about this? Why is this happening to me?" We saturate the airwaves with the why questions of life. I'm convinced that God has one answer for almost every one of those questions. He says, I'm just waiting on you. When Moses and the Israelites stood on the edge of the Red Sea watching the Egyptian army close in on them, they cried out to God in fear. They began praying that God would somehow rescue them. And look what God said: "Tell the people to get moving!" (Exodus 14:15). To paraphrase, "I'm just waiting for you." Too often we spend our days waiting for a miracle. When trouble comes, we cry out to God for help. When things don't move fast enough, we blame God for taking his time. And all the while God is saying to us, I haven't gone anywhere. I'm just waiting on you. And what is it that God is waiting for? Often he is waiting for us to lay aside our own agenda and trust him.…Whenever God waits, he waits for a purpose. And when we finally come to our senses and do the thing that we know he wants us to do, he moves with a vengeance. The Red Sea parts, and things start to happen.
