The day before I got separated from our family, my kids and I waited for our bus at the bus stop together.
She pouted, before exclaiming with pent-up frustration- “Why is the bus 130 taking so long! I prayed already for it to come fast! Why is the double decker not coming!”
I looked at her, stunned for a moment.
“My dear, do you feel disappointed? That’s okay. It’s OK to feel disappointed when you want something really badly.
But do you know lots of people lose faith in God because they don’t get what they want?
Do you know that somewhere out there, a 130 Bus is moving along. It’s driving to you. On it’s way.
But even God needs time.
If we don’t get what we ask for now, it doesn’t mean He doesn’t hear us or exist.
Can I teach you a song?”
Then I began to teach her Waymaker-
“Even when I don’t see it, you’re working.
Even when I don’t feel it, you’re working.
You never stop, you never stop working.”
What I taught them seems to be just for me now as I’m all alone here in Singapore while the rest of my family is in canada.
To trust God even when I don’t understand what’s going on.
Even when I feel stranded at a bus stop.
Even when I feel my time’s being wasted while I sit around.
Do you trust He will make a way even when there seems to be no way?
Do you trust that even when you don’t see your 130 Bus, He’s moving it along to you?
