I’ve Been Waiting…Now It’s Time To Start LIVING!

I have spent the majority of my life, waiting. Waiting for someone, waiting for the right time, waiting for better days, waiting on my husband. not moving, just waiting…WAITING!

I saw Fireproof yesterday…went with my husband (from who I am separated for 2 years). The movie was Wonderful. I don’t know that it will bring us together because of where he is…so distant. But there were things that called out to me from the movie. In particular a song. It was a song called While I’m Waiting by John Waller.

 It moved me…deeply. On many levels. I have sat quietly far too long…waiting…stuck…not moving any direction. I cant keep waiting without moving forward…no matter how sad, no matter how lonely, no matter how afraid, no matter how many strangers I may cry in front of…I have to stop waiting and start moving. Start getting out there…start LIVING the life God gave me…good and bad, happy and sad…LIVING IT!

It is time. Now…has anyone seen my big girl panties? I seem to have misplaced them :)

    I think a few of us have misplaced our big girl panties. Good for you, it seems like you are ready to take your life back, and no matter what direction you take, it’s better than no direction at all. God bless you, now go find those panties and get moving! Thanks for the link. ;)

    I applaud you for doing this! Yes, it’s time to start living. And when you do, there’s no turning back. You have so much to live for, to do with your loved ones. Enjoy yourself - you deserve it. BIG HUGGGGG

    I think many of us find ourselves “waiting” a good portion of our lives. We let our situations sometimes stall us or immobilize us. We sometimes forget just who is in control and try to control it ourselves and soon find out that if we only would stand back and watch God work he can truly make things better. Get out there and live today… and ‘ummmm find those panties would ya’! ;)

    Yes, I totally agree, life is not for waiting, it’s for doing. You can take control of your life and move forward.

    Personally, I believe we are responsible for our own destiny and making wise choices every day, regardless of our personal circumstances or whether we are in a relationship or worship a higher being.

    Remember the immortal line by John Lennon - “Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans.”

    Yep, LaTina is right, that’s where your panties are. Or if not, put them there right now and do your dance of joy.

    Sounds to me like you went and found your big girl panties. :P

    I can hardly wait to see that movie…I’ve heard so many good things about it.

    I will have to check the movie out, thanks.

    I also saw Fireproof. I even wrote about it in my recent blog. I am now making changes and have more hope than I’ve had in a while. I am praying for you. I am so glad you are making changes in your life and ‘moving’.
