But those who wait on the Lord
Shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
They shall run and not be weary,
They shall walk and not faint.
Isaiah 40:31

We all go through this season called "waiting". Waiting for the next big thing. Within that waiting there comes a time where things become a little stagnant and we begin to question the purpose of this season. It's a time where life becomes redundant. The days become less and less significant, and we often get caught up in the routine of this thing called life. It's pointless. We ask why. Why are things still the same? Why hasn't anything changed. What's life's significance? What's even the point of existing?

God puts us in these seasons for a reason. I believe that God puts us in these seasons because He wants to prepare us for our next season. He wants to prepare us for our next level spiritually, mentally, physically, and emotionally. Yet we will never be able to even be aware of the next season if we view the dry season through the wrong lens of perspective.

Our perspective must be anchored in God's promises.


  • "All Things Are Working For Our Good" (Romans 8:28)
  • "Sow In Tears, Reap In Joy" (Psalm 126:5)
  • "Nothing Shall Separate Us From God's Love" (Romans 8:38)
  • "A Hope And A Future" (Jeremiah 29:11)


The list goes on and on. Once we anchor our perspective to the promises of God, we can look t the dry season through a better lens.

It is imperative that we use our time wisely during the waiting season. In fact, God often uses the season of waiting in order for us to do some growing. Actual transformation. What you do during your waiting season matters. The question now is, what will you learn? How will you spend your time? Will you seek God's face? Will you pray? Will you read God's Word? Will you exercise your faith muscles?

Yes, these are a lot of questions, but they are questions we should ask ourselves. Because the waiting season isn't just a season, but a preparation for the next and better thing God has for you. Endure.

Corona Virus Tagged Our World With Our Feet Off Base

It's like a tough game when we try to play fair We didn't know that this fearful crisis was ever so near  It came in with a sudden blast, we had no clue  But no one really knew what to do It struck like lightning way up in the sky and shook the world with people from far and nigh It clapped like thunder, what a massive sound It twisted the world like a spinning wheel going round and round We are unable to determine when this invisible virus will no longer be around  Morning, noon and midnight lurching down on us without a sound It didn't come like snowflakes that quickly melted away It didn't come through the night and vanished by the break of day But it came almost as quick as the bat of an eye as swift as a rainbow moves in the sky As we continue with this challenge not knowing the outcome We are grateful and appreciative of what others have done We can stand and rest assure that GOD is bigger than any virus we know And he wil...

Traffic Jam

            So I was sitting in traffic today and I was the happiest I could ever be. Now I know I know, traffic isn't the greatest gift to mankind. The science of traffic continues to amaze me as to how and why it takes so long to get from point A to point B in 45 minutes when on a good day, it would usually take 5 minutes. Traffic felt a little different today though. Sure I had somewhere to be and yes I was stuck in the dead center of it, but I was content. I had my Snarky Puppy going, Vitamin water in the cup-holder. Couldn't complain! While being stuck in the middle of traffic and being the happiest black man in the world I thought to myself, "Why am I so happy in the middle of this traffic jam?" The answer was found in my focus.       Now usually when I get caught up in the 5 o'clock rush I'm always looking around trying to see where I can make my next move. I'm usually trying to see if I can get ahead of other cars, scoping out the...
