Actively Waiting

Lippo Karawaci-maxx coffee Benton, Saturday 9, 2017

Today I had a conversation with a friend. We were talking about many things about adulthood, future, our struggle, singleness, and many more. That conversation was really wonderful and engaging. We questioned many things and tried to find the answers by connecting the dots that we found in our lives. With this limited thought, we tried to discuss and think. We ended up talking about relationship.

It's interesting that we found out during these challenging periods of life, sometimes we encounter many things that forced us to make a decision. The options are to go with the flow or to go against the current.

Being single tempts woman to go with the flow which is to be drifted by the feeling to be loved. At the end, it causes woman to spend time thinking and pitying to ourselves. We started grumbling about unnecessary things like 'I have to find a boyfriend', why do I keep being singel? Or why am I doing this stupid things just because I don't have boyfriend? And many more.

However, we all know that there will be a time for that. Yes we need man to lead us, because that's our nature which is to be led. But it does not necessarily mean we aggressively try to catch man's attention by doing anything we want. We are created to be found. My friend beautifully concluded this way "we are the hidden treasure that needs to be found." We wait.

You might want to ask me, are you sure? Just wait? Yes.

Thank God, me and my friend we don't stop there. We try to think about many potential things we have in our lives now. We're still young, we have many friends, we have many abilities, there's still long way to go. If we fix our eyes on the future and think about what God has promised about the future, there's a hope. All we do just wait. Waiting for God's time.

While we're waiting, there are many things we can do. Make friends, pursuing dream, join community service, and so on. In other words, do what you are called to do and be what you are called to be! There's so much more out there waiting for you. There's so much more to do. Above all, there's so many people out there need you. Bear fruit! Bloom where you are planted! Live your life not only to be full but to overflow and let others see that you are overflowing. So they might taste that water which overflows in you.

Women, we're called to be helper. Helper to everyone in your life. Eve was create to be a helper not only for Adam but also for other creatures!

Serve other while you are waiting for your man. Prepare yourself to be godly while you are waiting for that godly man.
