A very dear friend had to endure the decision of breaking up with a boy (not man) recently. I don’t suppose that from the beginning, this was the original plan.
I woke up this morning with a sense of time. The pain of getting out of bed mixed with the knowledge that the night will come soon gave me an unreal sense that I’m a slave of time! We can’t go back to the past. We can’t know what will happen in future. But yet our present choices will determine everything, our past and future.
Sometimes the things we desire can be like a 7 year old’s desire to drive a car. Its not impossible, just not the right time, at least from his/her parents’ point of view.
Disappointments and delay will make us sick. So between our disappointments and the fulfilments of our desires, there is a place of waiting. Some people choose to whine through it, some get themselves busy with things, others just walk through it quietly and hopefully. What are you doing while you wait?
Hope deferred makes the heart sick: but when the desire comes, it is a tree of life. – Proverbs 13:12
