Waiting
Sometimes it becomes very had to wait especially when you are very used to being on the move.
How do you wait for coins to drop when you are already used to millions? How do you wait idling away when you are already used to executing one thing or the other?
It even becomes more frustrating when you are not even sure of the next thing that would happen or the next job you will execute.
It becomes very frustrating when there are so many expectations around you that are not being met. It becomes more difficult when everyone around you sees you up there but you are the only one that feels you are down. What a very lonely moment!
A part of you feels very jealous seeing others on the move and making what you are used to making forgetting that when you were in the limelight they were nowhere in sight and maybe were also where you have found yourself
How do you go through this waiting time when you don’t know how to beg and it’s difficult for the people you could have talked with to believe you are going
through?
How do you explain the waiting to your landlord, family and dependants who look up to you for their sustenance? How do you explain to the offering basket in church that you are waiting when the same basket receives from others?
How do you explain to your car or the fuel attendant that you are waiting when your car sees its counterparts filled to the brim with full tank?
How do you explain waiting to your little daughter who sees her mates with Christmas doll or how do you explain waiting to your creditors?
Waiting period is very hard and sometimes the best of motivation is not enough to quench the frustration you feel or else what motivation can motivate an empty stomach to be filled or what motivation can motivate an empty bank account to be loaded?
Waiting time is a very anxious time and it is even better when you know how long you have to wait but what now happens when you have no clue about your waiting time?
What loneliness, what emptiness, what frustration and silence you feel when you have to wait. Not because you are lazy but simply because you have to wait.
It is not a pleasant experience i know but it could just be the right time to pick your pen and write about your experience. It could just be the right time to relax and learn that life has different seasons determined by God. So the way winter feels frustrated waiting for summer to end is the same way the spring feels frustrated waiting for the autumn.
How does it feel encouraging others when you are not encouraged or how does it feel giving people vital advice that worked for them when the same didn’t work for you and they even come back sharing their testimonies of the multi million naira project without even giving a dime to say thank you while you go hungry?
It is a period you go through different sets of emotions and face several temptations to help yourself out of the situation.
But if there is a light at the every tunnel if every cloud has a silver lining and if the darkest part of the night is the closest to morning then it might just be wise to wait till your change comes.
Have you ever experienced the feeling of a nation that has gone through famine when abundance comes or the feeling of a land that has been subjected to a very hot and harsh weather when winter comes?
Same way when your change comes. Everyone sees the glory but it might just be the appropriate time to bring out the book titled ‘my waiting time’ for them to experience the story behind the glory.
It is painful to wait true but you still have to wait whether you hate or dislike waiting for your change to come.
So wait as you enjoy this fantastic weekend
