Me too.
A few months ago, Morris and I were waiting in line to buy movie tickets and there were 4 people ahead of us. Initially, this was not a problem. But, ten minutes later the line had not moved at all. It was a perfect storm: one cashier, a group of six, seeing several movies, and they had credit card trouble. So, I panicked and began giving the cashier dirty looks that screamed “Seriously?”
After another few minutes, I tried to remedy the situation and stormed over to the concession stand to ask that someone be re-assigned to help with ticket sales. Someone was re-assigned. We purchased our tickets, and hurriedly headed to our movie. We enjoyed the movie, until it ended 45 minutes after we sat down. We were in the wrong theater. Right movie. Wrong start time.
How many times does this happen in life? We get impatient and tired of waiting and we rush into something that looks right, but it is wrong i.e. the wrong job or relationship.
Thankfully, this was only a movie. But, it showed me that I still have a lot to learn about waiting.
The problem with waiting is that it feels like your time is being wasted.
Our Time is Not Being Wasted, We Are Being Prepared.
What To Do When We Are Waiting:
Don’t Panic. Or you’ll end up in the wrong place, like I did at the movies. God is working on us during the waiting…just like he worked on Moses.
Very good! Love it
Thanks, Nicole! Sometimes life lessons come from the weirdest places.
