"But as for me, I will watch expectantly for the Lord;
I will WAIT for the God of my salvation.
My God WILL hear me."
Micah 7:7
One week ago today I did something very sudden and unexpected, I bought a plane ticket to come home. A little over a week ago I would have never thought I would be home right now. I was training for a half marathon and thought I wouldn't be able to make it home for another month...God had different plans.
This all happened because I used my back instead of my legs to try and lift this tree trunk. For a time after hurting my back I was a little angry. I was just getting over a shoulder injury and was getting into the swing of things then all of a sudden, "crack!" I couldn’t move...
I am so thankful to God that I hurt myself! He used this to allow me to come home and visit with my wonderful family and friends. Every single one of them are huge blessing God has put in my life

God also used this incident to teach me that I need to wait on Him. Many times I worry trying to figure out what the future holds, wondering what things are going to look like, what I should be doing now, worried that if I don't make a certain decision(like what in the world am I going to do after college,) I will be out of God's will.
I need to wait for the God of my salvation. He didn't save me for a confused life full of worry. He saved me for life fully dependant on Him. A life that watches and waits expectantly, trusting that God will hear my cries to Him. These different anxieties, from the small unexpected accidents to the big guys like where should I live, who should I marry, where am I going with my life... all these things that can easily cause anxiety in my heart, God wants me to wait for Him. Cast these on my Savior who will hear me, will answer me and will guide me!

"OH Savior, help me to wait on you! You are the God of my salvation, let me rest in this and may all my anxieties be turned to faithful, trusting obedience that watches and waits expectantly for you, for you are a great God who does great things!"

Hmm, this is so true! waiting vs worrying. I know exactly how you feel. The difference between the two is that one is a sin, and the other gives God glory! sorry about your back dude ♥
