Unbearably Unspeakable .

I used to read a lot of romantic novels when I was a pre-teen. While my classmates read about the mystery adventures of Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys, I was into the passionate love stories of Mills and Boons. The storyline would always be the same. A modest-looking office girl would cross paths with an average guy who's overly "arrogant and cynical." (That's how I learned those words at a young age). They can't stand each other's guts but ofcourse the reader knows it's just romantic tension. A final, big conflict happens that would seem to end their relationship forever. But the man realizes that he's inlove with the woman so he runs after her. Only then does the woman discover that her average man is actually a wealthy and important guy. And that the events that led to their breakup were but a series of misunderstandings. The man and woman end up each other's arms and live happily ever after. Even if the plot never changed from book to book, do you know what I'd do every time I got to the part were circumstances seem to conspire against the two lovebirds? I'd jump a few dozen pages forward and read the ending. And then I'd go back to my original page and finish the book.

Why do I do that? Because I'm impatient. I can't wait to find out how it ends so I jump the gun. An attitude like that doesn't do much harm when you're just reading a book. But when it comes to real life, being impatient and running ahead of God's perfect timing can have disastrous consequences.

I'm one person who believes that the Lord has ordained certain times and seasons for everything. A baby needs nine months in his mother's womb and being born prematurely brings on complications. You can't pull out an emrging butterfly from it's cocoon or else you'll creep its wings for life. Hurrying a fruit to rippen doesn't make it as sweet as when it does so on its own.

Life has its seasons and we need to learn to respect them. Still, one of the hardest thing God has asked me to do is to wait.

To wait for him to speak.
To wait for His plan to unfold in my life.
To wait for a long overdue answer to prayer.

Often, when God asks us to wait, it seems like a waste of time. "Nothing's happening, Lord!" we wan't to cry out.

But I read a story about potters in Japan that changed my perspective on waiting forever. The story goes that after molding the clay, experienced potters put the vessels on shelves and keep them there for some time before putting them in the fire. This stage is called "resting the clay." They do this to allow the air trapped in the clay to escape. But the inexperienced potters, out of impatience or lack of knowledge, would shortcut this process and immediately put the vessel inside the furnace. When they do, the bubbles in the clay expand with the heat and burst out, causing the vessel to be deformed.

So you see, God has a purpose for our waiting. He's actually preparing us so that when it's time for us to move on, we won't crack under pressure. Now, if could only jump to end of my story.
