Some good things in life can take time

 


On January 17, 2016 I was thinking many people have probably heard the saying “good things come to those who wait.”  I think that this can be true in some circumstances.  For example, the picture I have above shows the mini pizzas that I made this past week for myself and my husband.

I would say the whole process takes a little over 1 ½ hours to make.  I don’t make them that often, but when I do I find I get excited about how good they are going to taste.  I have to first cut up all the vegetables, meat, and shred the cheese.  Then I put all the English muffins on a pan and put pizza sauce on each one.  Then the fun part comes when I get to put tons of cheese on them, which is so yummy.  Of course add all the veggies on after and even more exciting I get to add more cheese on top of everything I already added.

After all that I put them in the oven at 350°F to bake for 25 minutes.  They come out smelling very delicious so that it makes my mouth water with anticipation for eating them.  Once I take the first bite of the mini pizzas I am hooked as all my taste buds are screaming with excitement with how amazingly tasty they are.

Now that I have got your attention and likely have left you craving mini pizzas (LOL), remember this exceptional feeling.  It’s a similar feeling to when you finish high school, college or university as you become so excited to finish something that has taken a long time to accomplish. 

I can also understand the aspect of waiting for your future spouse and how worth it can be after waiting many years.  I had dated a couple of guys in my life before I met my husband.  Those relationships only lasted 2 months each.  I realized I was looking for what I wanted, not what God wanted for me.  After that I decided to leave it up to God to find the right husband for me.

I didn’t realize that it would be almost 6 years later that I would find my husband online, but it certainly was worth the wait.  God knew what I wanted in a husband, and He gave me a husband that was above and beyond my expectations.  My husband ended up waiting even longer then I did to date as he only wanted to date one woman, his future wife, and that ended up being me.

I can tell you finding out that I was my husband’s first and only person he dated made me feel really special.   To realize that my husband was always waiting for me unknowingly made me want to cry happy tears.  It really showed me that God was always looking out for me even as I wasn’t sure the right guy would ever come into my life.

Sometimes there is a reason why God makes you wait, as He knows that there is something even better out there for you, whether that is a spouse, job, school, etc.

Ecclesiastes 3:1    For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven.

 

Here’s a song about our God being able, and that He will never fail.  He is greater than all the things we seek, and He had done great things, and in His name we have overcome for our Lord is able.  He is also always by our side and He will make a way for us.  He will never leave us or fail us.

  On Thursday November 5, 2015 since the weather had been so incredibly warm this first week of November I wanted to try to run a bit more.   My husband and I had noticed that my running times have gotten slower – we think it might have something to do with the weather being cooler.   I decided I’d go for a run after my hubby got to his work.   I have found that over the past few weeks with weighing myself daily my weight had gone up a few pounds more then I’d like and it seemed I was battling with my Eating Disorder a lot more than I had been in awhile.   I have been in recovery from my ED since sometime in March 2015, yet I do occasionally fall back into it, or feel like I want to embrace it again, which I know deep down isn’t a good idea.   I had a few reasons why I wanted to go for the run; one, to figure out if the cold weather was causing me to be more tired during my runs, which would cause me to run slower.   The second reason was due to my...

Don't apologize for your choices. Own them!

Image
  On July 7, 2023 I decided to write an important post about when I got this good quote from the show Heartland SE 11 EP 14 at 42:00 minutes in.   One of the characters said to another "Don't apologize for your choices. Own them!" I think that's such a good one – that whether you made a good one or not – that you accept them and where you are at – and to not crazy stress about them – as the out come will be what it will be. Like for me I'm not exactly where I'd like to be in getting better, and I still give in so frequently to not the greatest decisions, but I know in the end I want to fully get better.   So accepting that's where I am at right now, that I may have trouble now, but that doesn't mean I always will as I keep working at it 🙂 . This is appropriate for me today, as I suddenly found out that a big food company was deciding to stop making all these quick frozen foods meals that I use at times, and I’m sure tons of other people do to....

Unexpected healing that’s happening at my childhood home

Image
  After writing about my previous post “ Don't apologize for your choices. Own them!”   I decided to write an important post on what’s been going in my childhood home starting on later July 7& then 8, 2023.   There have been Unexpected healing that’s happening at my childhood home while I have been staying with my mom there.    I’ve noticed also that there has been mending and healing relationships with my mom and even my brother at times – And for sure Elohim (God) is here at my childhood home and a big part of the changes that have been happening.   As I mentioned S. from my previous post “ Don't apologize for your choices. Own them!”   surprisingly pointed out – not only has mom been a blessing for me with helping me – apparently I am a blessing to mom too, which surprised me. Mom also really felt that from God when we were both doing a prayer and bible study on our phones together. I had this disconnect with my Mom not because of her, but...
