I have had the word "wait" on my mind for two weeks now, thinking that would be my word of the year. They quoted a verse using the word wait in Sunday School last week and I thought, "that is the Lord speaking that word to me."
Well since that day I have had the worst week in my life, in these 30 years I've been here on earth. No exaggeration. I thought my Grandma's death was horrid this past summer, but I have now experienced worse. I mean 2009 was up-to-date the worst year of my life, and I thought 2010 had to be looking up, but we're just two weeks in and I'm wishing away this year! The age 30 has come with a lot of problems. What I'm speaking of is a personal matter not to be broadcast across the Internet.
So, anyway, in my pain, I decided to go ahead and scrap my word of the year. This idea of a word of the year comes from
Ali Edwards.
There are many verses on waiting on the Lord, but I went with something raw that spoke to me in my pain. That is simply that He "heard my cry." I am clinging to that. I need to know that if nothing else changes, at least God is there and knows how hard this is for me. As I go through this I will wait on Him and His timing and trust that He will not give me anything that He can't handle through the Holy Spirit.
