when you are waiting for 'next' to happen...this can be an interesting time. for some it's school, for others it's work, for some it's a life mate, for others it's that very next thing. learning to wait for what's next is good, it's just the process that's not too much fun.
it's like sitting at that street light that's red -- it's been red for about 15 minutes. you don't want to turn and then turn around 'cause you know it's wrong or someone might catch you doing wrong. so you sit there, waiting for the light to change. finally, when it does change, you move forward in confidence -- you have the clear and obvious permission to do so. it's just the waiting for the green light...it takes time.
what's cool is, when i've waited for His green light, the wait proved to be worth it. the destination was better than i had expected, and had i arrived there sooner...
1. i would not have been ready for it
2. my destination would not have been ready for me
3. it would not have all fitted together, just right
so for all of you waiting for whatever is next...find a good book to read while you're on the wait. the 'next' doesn't go away, you just learn to adjust to His schedule and timing. while you are at the light waiting, what can you do there to serve Him and others? chances are that's why the light is still red.
what can you do at your red light for God, for others?

so very true...in the meantime, serve God in your Church, and volunteer. your next step might require time that you have now. use it wisely.
