Anytime now, God!

God has blessed me in so many ways lately, but I’m still struggling with being content with everything I have now. It doesn’t consume me like it has in the past though, which is such a relief. I am just a typical modern American who wants everything my way right this very instant. Garth Brooks’ song “Unanswered Prayers” comes to mind, because my life would be so much more screwed up if God granted me everything I ask for. I still have several big dreams and wishes, but I don’t have to stress about which ones will come true because God has it all taken care of, and there are some opportunities that have not even come across my path yet that I need to be willing to wait for. Taking my hands off the steering wheel was no easy thing, but I’ve had so many positive things happen by giving up the control. The best things in life take time, and I know that the life I envision for myself will become reality if I just keep giving my frustration and impatience over to God and let Him show me step by step where and when He wants me to move.
