Penny for My Thoughts…
I came across a reel earlier, a woman was sharing her story, and it hit deep.
She said her life had been full of waiting.
She waited 5 years to gain admission into university. Then another 4 years before she even started dating. Then another 2 years before the man she was dating finally married her.
But in it all, she said something so profound, “The waiting was good for me. God was packaging something permanent.”
Whew. That stayed with me. It reminded me of this truth: not everything should come quickly. Because sometimes, the things that come too fast, also crash too fast. Quick fixes aren’t always lasting foundations.
Yes, there are exceptions some people get the “quick-quick” blessings and sustain them for years. But for many, what comes too easy often goes too easy.
Okay, this is just me thinking out loud. I’m waiting. And while I wait, one thing I’ve promised myself is this:
I will not allow myself to be pressurized.
Yes, pressure can be useful, it shakes us out of comfort zones and sparks growth. But there are also moments where we must draw the line and say, “Not everything requires pressure.” Especially when it comes to life decisions like marriage.
This is for my sisters out there. Society is a master at guilt-tripping.
“You’re getting old.”
“Your biological clock is ticking.”
“There’s no time.” Blah, blah, blah.You have heard it all and seen it.
But listen, when you let that noise get into your spirit, you might end up leaping from the frying pan straight into the fire, simply because you’re trying to follow what people say or live by the timelines society sets.
If you’ve met the right person and there’s peace, amazing. But if not, don’t be pressurized. We’ve seen people get married at 50. Some have had children at 70. Lol, Sounds crazy, maybe but sometimes that’s God’s divine story and where there’s His peace, there’s purpose.
I’ve seen people rush into things, only to end up in the most painful, heartbreaking situations. So again I say, don’t let anyone pressurize you.
And above all: PRAY.
Don’t let your waiting season be careless or empty. Don’t wait without direction. Don’t just hang in there for the sake of it. Let God be in your waiting. Let Him guide you. Let your season be purposeful, full of communion with Him.
Because when you go on a self-imposed wait, without God’s direction, you risk missing the very seasons He’s prepared for your good.
Just my thoughts.
You may agree or not.
But they’re mine.
