I can only wonder what could have been different if I had stopped waiting for why, if I had stopped waiting for the next and focused on what God was doing in the now. It’s too easy to miss the now while we wait for the next. The next season, the next opportunity, the next answer, the next sign that things are finally changing. We fixate on an unknown future, often born out of our present discomfort, and in doing so, we become blind to the unexpected work God might be doing right in front of us.
