I’m in a position right now of indecision. I’m waiting for answers. Like everyone, I’m waiting for the COVID virus to be gone. What a terrible time in our lives with the virus. It’s now the leading cause of death in the US. And…I’m waiting for a job to come through.

Waiting is one of those things we all have to do. We have to wait for stop lights, orders, jobs, time, people, bathrooms, appointments, food, vacations, a day off, feeling better, the birth of a child, a new house, a child to do what they should, and many more.

Waiting is hard. It’s frustrating. It can lead to anxiety which can make you sick. It can lead to depression, for me anyway. I’ve been waiting for a job to open up in Florida. I’m right at the cusp at getting what I hope is a good job, but I’m not sure if after I get it, if I do, that I will take it. So not only am I waiting to find out the answer, I’m in a point of indecision as to whether or not I really want to pull up stakes and move several hundred miles away to take the job.

Then, I’m not sure if once they would offer the position to me, if they will offer enough money for me to live on. So I also have that to worry about. Is it really worth it in the long run? I don’t know. A lot depends on the offer. I need to secure a certain amount in order to move…and that’s if they even offer it to me.

The Bible has some things to say about waiting on the Lord. Isaiah 40:31 says that “those who wait for the Lord will gain new strength.” The will of others also play a role in our waiting. So, what I take from this is that God can give us strength during these times of waiting on others to do what they should, but many times that doesn’t happen. We live on the actions of others.

The Lord can intervene for us, but He too is restricted by the the will of others. He can’t make us do anything. It’s like the old saying: You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink. It’s the same with people. The Lord can lead us, but He can’t make us do anything. He waits too for our decisions to be made.

I will say from past experience that although waiting and indecision can drive anyone nuts, once a decision is actually made and you start moving toward that, you feel a lot better. A weight is removed and you can breathe a sigh of relief.

So, I’m waiting for this job to come through and hopefully I will find out soon. I’ll keep everyone posted on that. In the meantime I’m trying to be patient and fill my time with cleaning, writing and whatever else I can do.

So, let’s wait with the Lord on His plans for us and pray that we all get what we are waiting for. I know I will be very relieved when a decision is made.

Until my next post, God bless you.
