Have you ever been “waiting position" I have several times? I feel this way that as Christian our live are a series of Highs, Lows and Steady periods. God does so that we grow as Christian, and in our Christian Maturity.

I relate it as a long distance runner, on the down times we are running uphill. This in turn builds our leg strength and our endurance so that when we start on an open or flat plane we can do it and never miss a stride!

and we can coast on the down hill times while still growing.
Romans 8:28 We know that all things work together for the good of those who love God: those who are called according to His purpose.:amen:

God is always "Training us for the next long race! I hope I made some since out of what I was saying!

In one way or another I feel like I am waiting on God most of the time. There is usually at least one and sometimes more things I am waiting for him to do. God usually shows us on time, but rarely early.

This so true I have preached a sermon quite a few times that talked about this subject of God answering prayers. He’s always on his time schedule and it is rarely our as well but never early. The thing that I think we could all work on is that God doesn’t always is answer our prayers in the way we asked meaning “he may answer it in the color nor the flavor we asked.” But he does answer our prayers always.
