Power of Patience …

I don’t think I can go a week, a day, even an hour without having to learn the importance of patience in some way or another.  If you know me you know I am a planner, always prepared for what is next to come.  After high school…college, after college… grad school (okay I didn’t predict that one), after grad school… job…. And the list goes on.  But I find myself in a stagnate state, I have a job I love, semi-close to family and while I may complain… I’m blessed with a roof over my head and food on the table. 

So why patience you might ask?  As I wonder what’s next for me, a runner at heart, it feels so strange to be in one place and thinking about where I want to plan my future.  I have so many questions these days that I want an answer to immediately, but unfortunately that is not how it works.  My timing is God’s timing, he will reveal what he wants for my life piece by piece, but in his own way and on his own timeline. <<< Easier said than done right!

Whether it’s a job, the next chapter is in your life, marriage, a family… we all have wants (and what some of us may think are needs) but if you take a step back and look at past situations in your life, you see that God provided in just the right moment with the right thing to get you where you are today.  That’s a constant reminder for me to trust in all He has planned for my life and in hope that some of my desires come soon J

As you all know since moving to Southern California I have become a workout fen.  Bootcamp was so inspiring for me and really made me think about myself.  Recently I have come to find out I have torn my ACL again and have a slight tear in PCL.  Minor set back but just like the first time, senior year in high school, I am using this time to settle down as God uses crazy things to remind us of what’s important in life.  I am enjoying cardio and yoga now, using my Savasana (time of reflection) at the end of yoga class to pray about everything I am grateful for!

I encourage all of you who may be still searching for something and have a yearning desire for answers to have PATIENCE and trust that in time everything will be revealed to you.  Some day down the road you can look back and realize how blessed your life really is because of God’s timing!

Love to y'all ~Brie Lynne
