"Just wait..."

I think I've been learning how to wait more. For the past few weeks, I've been hearing nothing but "Just wait, just wait..." from God. And after a few mistakes of giving in, I've finally learned to "just wait".
Waiting is really hard, but waiting is the answer to problems sometimes.
I have managed to relate this to my fear of spiders...
Here's what I mean: I can't watch anything to do with spiders. If there's a movie or show on that has some kind of spider part, I have to close my eyes or else I'll think about it at night. If I close my eyes, I trust that whoever I'm with will let me know when it's safe to open my eyes. If I don't trust them, then I'll most likely open my eyes at the wrong time and scar myself for the night. God keeps His eyes open while ours are closed. God sees things when we can't. That's why we have to trust He knows the right time for everything.
"Hold on Johanna, just keep your eyes closed until I say it's safe to open them. I'm sure you don't want nightmares about spiders tonight."
When I don't trust that God's looking out for me when I can't see, I use my own judgment for when it's "safe" to do something.
But I have to keep reminding myself that it doesn't make sense for me to make decisions when I can't see anything. God's my lookout. I just have to trust that when He says "Wait", it means "It's not safe yet". I have to trust the One who can see things I can't.

Anyway... God's waiting for me in the car. : )
