I Can't Wait

I speak with people all the time who feel as if they have no hope in their life. Life is so full of trouble and upheaval that they struggle making it through today let alone looking for tomorrow. This reminds me of the saying you can’t see the forest because of the trees. People get so caught up in the problems and issue of today that they have no hope for tomorrow or next week or next month. People are so caught up in the problems of today that they do not take the time to find something positive in their life to look forward to. I believe in taking the lessons that I learned yesterday and today and applying them to the future, I do not dwell on them I learn from them and move on.
God has a game plan for my life and I strongly believe that everyone needs to seek God and find out what that game plan is. What is the goal you are trying to achieve in your life, what are the steps that need to be taken to get you there, what is your game plan? Now do not say that your plan is to win the lottery or marry into money, even though those things can happen, everyone needs to lay out a realistic plan for their life, pray about the plan, and then you can have your “I can’t wait”.My Mom has a wonderful way of looking at life that she has passed on to me, she says that in life you need to have an “I can’t wait”. Now this is not a statement dealing with a lack of patience but it has everything to do with how you look at tomorrow. Life is always going to be full of challenges, ups and downs, success and failures, but how we approach everyday will make or break us.
In 1981 my father died, mom and dad had been married for 32 years and of course mom was devastated with loss of her life mate. But even though she was grieving she had such a positive attitude about life. She would tell me I can’t wait for the weekend when she knew I would come into town and spend a couple days with her. Eventually she got to the point where her “I can’t wait” was to see what God had in store for her with regards to another man in her life. She got her “I can’t wait” about a year later and they will be married 26 years this year.
