Waiting… Forever Waiting

 

Waiting is rough stuff. I know, because I am waiting for someone. While I travel through life waiting for him I am hitting high points and low points. I know I am doing the right thing by waiting for God and him to be ready for me. Unfortunately, all I can do is wait for him. I have tried to rush it and it gets you nowhere, actually it gets you in places you do not want to be. Luckily I have a companion to wait with me, and He is helping me to be a better person while we wait.  

Some of the high points of this waiting period are when I realized what God is doing in me and for me while I am waiting. I have been given many opportunities over the last 25 years to be a light for Him, opportunities I may have missed had someone been standing in my way. I am thankful for that. I am also thankful that he was not here during my incredibly awkward years (not that I am not weird anymore, I have just acquired skills to suppress some of it!). Had he been in my life before I learned how to deal with conflict, take care of myself, nurture relationships etc. he could have been scared off forever or worse ruined or heart broken by me. Another God thing has been to save me for him. When I was younger, I never really knew my boundaries or where I wanted them to be. Had we met earlier I may have crossed lines I did not know were important for me to wait to cross. Now that I have had this time to reflect and determine my boundaries, I know firmly where I stand.

A low point would definitely be my breaks in faith and loss of hope over the years. God has always been there to comfort me and reassure me that He is still grooming him for me. Just as I have not been ready, neither has he. I have gone out with people I knew were not him, I have participated in activities I am not proud of, and I have been tempted in several ways. I know that I have learned a lot from all these situations, and I am sure he is learning his own. I pray that his waiting is going well, and that he will not lose heart, because I am well worth the wait.

Better Dig Two - Band Perry

I told you on the day we wed
I was gonna love you ‘til I’s dead
Made you wait ‘til our wedding night
That’s the first and the last time I’ll wear white

So if the ties that bind ever do come loose
Tie ‘em in a knot like a hangman’s noose
Cause I’ll go to heaven or I’ll go to hell
Before I’ll see you with someone else

Put me in the ground
Put me six foot down
And let the stone say:

“Here lies the girl whose only crutch
Was loving one man just a little too much”
If you go before I do
I’m gonna tell the gravedigger that he better dig two

Well,
It won’t be whiskey, won’t be meth
It’ll be your name on my last breath
If divorce or death ever do us part
The coroner will call it a broken heart

So put me in the ground
Put me six foot down
And let the stone say:

“Here lies the girl whose only crutch
Was loving one man just a little too much”
If you go before I do
I’m gonna tell the gravedigger that he better dig two

Dig two
Ooh, ooh

I took your name when I took those vows
I meant ‘em back then and I mean ‘em right now,
Oh, right now

If the ties that bind ever do come loose
If “forever” ever ends for you
If that ring gets a little too tight
You might as well read me my last rites

And let the stone say:

“Here lies the girl whose only crutch
Was loving one man just a little too much”
If you go before I do
Gonna tell the gravedigger that he better dig, uh!

Heavy stone right next to mine,
We’ll be together ‘til the end of time
Don’t you go before I do,
I’m gonna tell the gravedigger that he better dig two

I told you on the day we wed
I was gonna love you ‘til I’s dead
