W A I T I N G [Part III : Holler at Ya Girl]

Heelooooo everyone.

First week of Dermatovenerology down, and I have one more science session, which is case report, to do. 😉😊

***

Today, we're entering part III of Holler at  Ya Girl.

This one takes less time to write cuz' it doesn't really involve anyone other than me, and I don't have to ask for informed consent first. 😊

I love countdowns.

They just gets me excited everytime I wake up and get to see the number gets smaller as I get closer to the events/things I'm anticipating for.

And I used to loathe waiting.

Like...if I could get everything express...man I'd certainly choose that.

I'm sure some people can testify on that part of me..ahahahha 😝😜 (you know who you are)

Like I didn't like waiting cuz' I didn't see the active participation in it.

I used to think of waiting as a 'lazy alibi' for not doing anything to get things that you want/desire.

But, as I spend more time in the presence of The Lord (personal devotional time, pray, listening to sermons on subjects I want a revelation about, and tithe), I begin to have better understanding of it.

And last Wednesday I stumble upon this sermon by Rich Wilkerson Jr., that says :

A vision rarely needs immediate actions. 

It always requires patience.

Waiting is working.It's working while I wait.And on the flip-side of it, WAITING WORKS. 

And when I wait on HIM, it ALWAYS WORKS. 

If GOD promises something, if I wait on HIM, HE will deliver. 

The bigger the responsibility, the more preparation required. 

If life gets too hard to stand, kneel.
Prayer helps you see things, that you otherwise would miss. 

(I swear when Rich said this I had a de ja vu moment, cuz' I've been saying and experiencing this many times)

You want opportunity and favor.
So ask God : "GOD, please give favor in my life" 

And if life gets too hard to stand, if the vision becomes too heavy, if the waiting feels too long, get down on your knees and pray. 

Because waiting is working.Cause it is your job to wait.And waiting works. 

It always works waiting for God's timing. 

I'm gonna pray like I'm hoping God's gonna do it. And I'm gonna plan like I know God is gonna do it.

So...as Christmas is coming and so is New Year, 

we are in week I of ADVENT (a time of expectant waiting and preparation for both the celebration of the Nativity of Jesus at Christmas and the return of Jesus at the Second Coming)

I'd like to spend the time on :

     1. Praying and Fasting for 30 days until Christmas

I have fasted before...but never continually...and whenever I fast, it's usually on the same day when my appetite and hunger are at their lowest points, due to monthly hormonal change. 

So, when I tell this to my friends about this, I be getting like :

"ALAH! Gladys puasa?! Tiap sebentar aja jajan HOYA" or like 

"Ahhh lu...pas kemarin bulan puasa aja ga tahan..."

And I laughed hard on that cuz' they're true. 😁😂

I mean my friends see how I be around food, especially bread and sweet things.

So when I reached the first week (which is today) of this fasting and praying time and not once bailed on it, I just laughed harder. 😁😂😀

      2. Let Abba break any bitterness, dissapointment, or hurt-feeling in me from this year

Cuz' whatever you're binding yourself to, is what's gonna come around.

      3. Let Abba show what He wants to do in 2020, so that what I desire is His desires.

Now..this part is nothing like I've done before.

Karna I like making resolutions...feeling excited when I write it and even make doodles of it.

But something I learnt from this year is that before stepping into anything, 

ask Abba what He wants to do in it. 

So even though I know 2020 will have some major events in it, 

I'mma shut all the voices inside of me, and pay attention to what Abba's gonna say.

xoxo,
