Purpose in Patience

Waiting isn’t torture—it’s the world in which you become who you need to be. Patience feels like you’re not moving, stuck in place. But nothing can be further from the truth. Active trials change you, but the days you spend in wait for what’s to come, have a way of molding you more than the big moments. When you can’t move, you start to pass the time by rediscovering who you are. Coming out of the chaos, you realize maybe you’re a little different. Maybe you want to make some changes or rewrite some goals because maybe you don’t even want the life you’ve been chasing after.

I appreciate the busy seasons, but it’s beginning to feel like I’ve forgotten the value of being still, finding peace.
