wait and listen to Him.
i'm really trying.
lately, i've been really struggling with this.
especially, during this season where i've been trying
to quiet my thoughts, and just wait on His guidance.
honestly, i've never whole-heartily tried...until now.
for the first time in my life...i can honestly say the Lord has truly humbled me.
i mean...
knock me to my knees,
spending weekends in bed,
crying at the drop of the hat...
i could go on, but i'll just stop there.
this is the real, raw and uncut verision of what i've been dealing with.
i am forever grateful for this season, although it's been extremely difficult at times.
i have never felt this way.
ever.
i remain faithful in knowing He hears my prayers, cries, and will guide my steps.
i'll admit...i've probably cried and pleaded with Him more in the last seven months.
i've learned He needs to be the center of my life.
that's all He wants from us.
amazing, how it took me moving to a completely different state,
being all alone for seven months...to realize this.
but, this was probably His plan all along.
my heart yearns to hear Him and desperately wants to wait on Him.
this is tough.
i guess this is what happens when you pray for patience.
this is something most of us struggle with. right? i can't be the only one.
this blog ALWAYS speaks to my heart.
especially, during this season in my life.
The value of consistent prayer is not that He will hear us, but that we will hear him.

I can totally relate to this beautiful post! Ive been praying to God for patience too. Love the last quote you wrote. So true and inspiring! Hope God leads you to what you need :)
Being patient is so hard. It's one of the things I struggle with more than anything. I wish you the best of luck and grace in all that you are dealing with!
I'm with you! And its so true, the more we pray, the more its about hearing Him then Him us.
Stay strong, my dear. :)

Romans 12:!2 comes to mind
"Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer."

I agree :) Great post!
Ashley, I feel this post 1000%! I too have been humbled and am going through matters of the heart, but I know that God has my back and will bless me regardless. Just have faith and be thankful for everything you have. Every morning I read from my journal all of the things I am thankful for and I know that through all of the hardships, God will guide me.
