Just Hold On!

How often do we tell people that? How easy is it for us to tell other people to "Just Hold On!"

Working with preschoolers has just taught me so much about a lot of different things.
I find my self many times through out the day telling these kiddos to hold on. When they ask to go to the bathroom. When they ask if they can switch centers. When they ask if they can have a hug. etc...

I have been thinking about why my answer is "Hold On" and not just "Yes" or "Sure! Go ahead!" Well my conclusion is, that I know the best timing. Obviously when we are in the middle of the pledge of allegiance, its not the best time to go potty.

Well, in thinking about my sweet little preschoolers and their lack of understanding the appropriate time for things, it got me thinking about when we ask God for things and he says "Just Hold On!" It's not necessarily a "No!" It is just that he knows the best timing for us!

There have been a couple things in my life recently that I have been asking God " Okay, What about NOW?" and His answer is "Just Hold On!"
Can I just say that I am SOOO thankful that he has said that!? It is so hard sometimes to wait for God's timing but if we can Just Hold On, then what He has for us will come at the perfect time and fall into place better than when we thought it should. Praise The Lord!
Let me just speak from experience that when He says " JUST HOLD ON!", He knows what He is doing! Let him lead. Enjoy the fact that we have a God, who knows what is best for us!
He makes all things beautiful in HIS time!
