April Showers Bring May Flowers

via weheartit

I can hear the rain outside my window. It has been raining ever since I walked out the door this morning. I don't like the wet, gloomy weather that much. I want the flowers to come. The flowers that everyone has been posting on their blogs. I know that flowers wouldn't grow in May without all the rain in April. I guess I just have to be patient. You know what they say, 'good things come to those who wait.'

It's interesting how it all works. I'm able to look forward to all the beautiful flowers May will bring. I imagine the lovely flowers we'll be planting in the backyard soon! It goes to show, even through some of the less fun times, there's always something you can anticipate.

Even though I may not like the rain, the flowers need it. Sometimes in our lives, things happen that we may not like. But God sees everything. That one little discomfort for us, may really benefit someone else. We need to trust Him ... trust that He knows what He's doing. Trust that He's got everything in control, and that after that rainstorm, the flowers will bloom just at the right moment.

Waiting

This is something we have to do a lot. We have to wait for the bus, wait for other people, wait in line at a cash register. It is a part of life. But do you ever feel like you are waiting for life? Almost as if you haven't really gotten to the good part yet. You're still waiting for that something special, something new and interesting to happen. Like there's something else coming, something worth waiting for.

Maybe you should stop waiting. Stop waiting... and start looking.

Lately I've been living life, and everything is really great, but it just seems normal. Average. The same. I want something more exciting! I've been waiting. After doing lots of thinking, I realized something, someone, has been waiting for me too. God. I've drifted away from Him, and He knows it, but He's waiting for me to come back on my own when I'm ready. I've gotten so caught up in life, that I've strayed away from my one true God. Well, I am done waiting.

God knows we are well worth waiting for, so He waits. It can take a while for us to understand that, and some never do. But when we run back to Him, He'll always welcome us with open arms. Once we return, we can fully live life without feeling like we're missing something. Because this time, we found what we were waiting for.

Prince Charming

We've all been there. You crush on him, and he doesn't even know you exist. As much as you seem to make yourself noticable, he acts as if you were invisible. Then, after awhile, you mature and move on. You realize he wasn't worth all the fuss, and forget about him after a month.

Though have you ever thought about it the other way around? That there is someone out there who likes you? Well guess what? There is! There is someone out there who loves you! Who cares for you! That someone is up in heaven, and has been watching out for you ever since you step foot on this planet.

God is waiting. He is waiting for you to realize that you don't need to go searching for a lover. He is waiting for you to come to Him when you are ready. He will wait. He will wait because you are just that special to Him. The moment you give your heart to Him, He will love you forever. Isn't that the kind of relationship you want?

I'm not saying that you have to become a nun and never marry. God will bring the right guy into your life. So don't waste your time searching for him. Live your life! Because if you spend your time sitting in a tower, you'll miss out on some really great adventures! And who knows, maybe the guy for you is right around the corner!
