Are you stuck waiting? Feeling like you are stuck in a waiting season can be frustrating & understandably discouraging as well. Being stuck waiting is something that has a way of etching away at you like water etching away at a rock. The longer you wait, the more excruciating it becomes. That pain pushes you to feeling like you aren't going to make it, that you are going to break beyond recovery, & that you are in it all alone. I am very familiar with these feelings & this sort of isolation, & if you made it this far into this description, then I know you can relate to these feelings & experiences too. But, I am here to let you know that waiting doesn't have to feel this way. There is a positive side to the waiting, even if you can't see it now. You will make it through, & the other side will be worth it. Let's get through this waiting together, for the better.

Do you ever feel like your life is on hold but you don't know why? Do you feel like you are waiting to do the things you love, but you find yourself waiting for everything to be 'just right' first? You aren't alone in the waiting or in these feelings.

I've spent a lot of my life doing this sort of 'waiting' & I regret how much time has been lost. In the midst of waiting, I deprived myself of doing the things I love & care about. As well as missing out on precious time with loved ones. I don't quite know when the waiting began for me, or why I even began waiting in the first place. But I do know I was about two years old when it all began.

Now, as an adult, I've realized that I don't want to wait anymore. That there are things currently in my life that I've already waited so long for that are finally here, but I'm not fully enjoying it because I find myself waiting for something else in its place. I've found, the waiting never ends. So, I've decided that I no longer want to wait. I want to live.

Do you want to start living your life now too? If you are tired of waiting, then I hope this podcast episode speaks to you right where you are & helps you begin enjoying life where you currently are, as well as the things you currently have. Look around, I'm sure you will see things you have waited a long time for, even worked really hard for, &just now realize you currently have them in your life now. So let's start enjoying those things right now. Let's start living right now, together.

In my life, highs & lows have always been drastic. They have felt as though they could destroy me & that it was only a matter of time. But in those experiences, I have gotten a different view of Jesus & who He is to the lost, hurting, & the broken. In this video, I share some of my story on how Jesus changed my life & who He has shown Himself to be in every season of my life. I hope that you know, He is here for you in whatever season of life you may find yourself to be in right now. He doesn't want to leave you where you are. He wants to change your life, just as He has changed mine. Will you let Him?

I know what it's like to feel overwhelmed and lost in the process of healing & asking yourself, "why am I self-isolating?" I know how it is to feel like you are doing all of the right things, yet somehow you still end up in the dark & hard places that you know all too well. Those are familiar places that are still so confusing that you can get lost in them despite how far you have come. In this episode of Honestly Because, I make it raw & keep it real in this conversation of my personal experiences with these feelings & questions. I share what I am learning in my personal process of healing. In sharing these things, I hope that it will speak to you right where you're at so you don't get stuck in those dark places & can continue to move forward to a better day in your personal healing process.
