It seems as
there are
many
waiting times
in my life.
I have to
wait for
all sorts
of things.
But during
these times
much is
happening within me.
Actually
waiting times
are times
for character to grow.
But for me
these are times
in which I
primarily have to fight.
Times of
impatience.
Times of
fear.
Times of
anger.
Times of
envy and jealousy.
So many
negative feelings
pour into
me during those times.
The
thoughts that come to my mind
during
those times
are first
of all negative.
A battle
starts within me
because
these thoughts
want to
nest in me
and take
over.
When I do
not do anything
they begin
to grow rampant
but all
they bring forth are weeds.
If I let my
feelings reign
during
these waiting times
then surely
nothing good
comes out
of it.
I have to
wait anyway,
so the
question is
how
positive I want to make
this time.
I can also
persist in patience
and look
around to see
what else
can be done
while I
wait.
I can begin
to look
away from my own problems
and see
where someone else
may need my
help.
I can bring
my concerns
to my
Creator
and learn
to leave them with him
and to wait
patiently.
If I do not
immediately get what I want,
then maybe
there are
other
reasons for that.
Afterwards
I have often noticed
that all of
my wishes
were not
the best for me
after all.
But I had
to take
many
detours
before I
started to realize that.
Waiting
also means
to control
myself.
Waiting
includes
fighting
the negative thoughts.
During the
wait I can learn
to persist
in patience and anticipation,
and during
this time
not let my
life be ruined.
Since most
of life
consists of
waiting times,
I am well advised
to make the
best out of it!
