Anxiously Awaiting.......but For What and Why?

So my fellow bloggers,

Until now I was content, comfortable, relaxed, I was ok with where my life was, yes it could have been a little better, but I was fine with it……Until that “BUT GOD” came in!!!! God has and still is really blowing my mind right now, I mean straight 180 has Christ turned my life around!!!! It has me at a point in my life where I have never been before....a point where it’s unexplainable.... a point where its kind of exciting, but yet a little nervous.....but on the edge of my seat anticipating what’s next….

What am I waiting for? What am I so anxious to have? What is it in my life that I do not have that I so desire now?

Well let's look back at my life. I went from having nothing to having everything a man could ever want or need!!! Well almost everything...."my best is yet to come". But before the best, there's always the worst. I went from going from being a low-life jerk on the block to smoking and drinking, barely graduating from high school, disrespecting my mom and every authority that was place in my life, being almost 25 before I even got a license, not having a bit of sense to even think about what I wanted to do in life, but still trying to do everything I could to make my mark in this world........The wrong way!!!


BUT GOD!!!!!! He had another plan for my life....
2 Corinthians 5:17 "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new."

I'm now 28 years old, married to my best friend, purchased my 1st House, started a new life, going from being a Deacon to a Minister, excepting new challenges, walking into a new job and after receiving all of this, you would think I “The Prince” would be done looking and expecting anything else. “But I wasn’t” Until I heard from the Lord!! He told me that HIS blessing is by no mean "Just For Us" anything GOD allows you to do and or have is for the uplifting up HIS kingdom....we just have the privilege to hold on to it and I had to realize that there is a bigger picture in everything God does. Isaiah 40:31 "They that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint"

If I understand what that scripture means and I believe it to be true......

Then why and what am I so anxious for right now? Especially when the word of GOD says in Philippians 4:6 “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.”


TO BE CONTINUE....................................


But in the mean time please share your thoughts and opinions about this.

I guess it is true what they say you learn something new everyday. And this blog has allowed me to see that you really have a lot on your mind and you're really good at putting it on paper.

Anxious but for what and why? And it seems from your post that you have what most people don't accomplish until much later in their lives and yet you are anxiously waiting for something more? I don't really have any words of encouragement to help with the anxiety, because if your anxiously awaiting; than I've crashed in anxiety and like you I can't pinpoint what it is.

Again I thank you Minister for sharing your life on this blog and I hope that others on Blogspot will read, comment, and find hope through your words.
