Learning

What I am finding out about myself is that if I stay aware of people and "things" around me after I have asked God for help, guidance, knowledge, etc., then I will hear it or see it or read it in the coming days - "It" being His answer of course.
Yes, the answer could be "no" or "wait", but He does answer. I am often just too impatient to stop and pay attention to the answers when they are coming in. This is when I often make rash and foolish decisions, or say things I regret later, or do things that I can never undo.
Have you been there? Do you know what I mean?
So, I am waiting. Waiting in the hurting, growing through this pain and uncertainty. Knowing that God IS supplying me with all I need for the moment. No more is needed (despite what my flesh may think). Now, this waiting is made more difficult for me specifically when I don't feel my family is on board with waiting on God. I may be wrong in this and my family may feel they most definitely are acting in what God is directing them in. This is when I further learn about submission to the spiritual authority in my life.
That authority is first God, then my husband, then my family, then my church. Right? I am continually being taught and stretched and made to grow for the next thing God has planned to use me in. I pray that my experiences can be used by God as a testimony to His grace, faithfulness, and patience with even me.
