Vocation and the Will of God

I keep thinking about three specific quotations today. I've been hearing a lot from God on waiting - waiting for His revelation, His provision.... and sometimes I just get sick of waiting, like today. It is still seven and a half months until I get married, and I want it to be next week. It has been six weeks since my fiance had a job, and I want the Lord to at least open something so that it doesn't seem like everything has closed right in front of our faces. I have only two and a half weeks left of school, but I want to go home, to be in my own bed, and to be near my family NOW. Waiting just seems more difficult today. You know what He keeps telling me? He keeps reminding me that making me wait helps ensure that I go where I am needed- even if, or especially if, I don't want or expect to be there. So here are the big three, and I've heard each during my time here in college:

"Vocation is the place where your deep gladness makes the world's greatest need." -Frederick Buechner
-Funny thing is, our first essay/writing sample before beginning classes at King was working off this quotation to see where we'd be placed in English classes. Who knew that three and a half years later, I hope for it to be true all the time.

"God, command what You will, and grant what You command." -Augustine
-Another freshman year introduction that hasn't left our minds for a moment! Augustine is everywhere, and I'm currently praying to pray this. Get it? I'm not just praying to say it; I'm praying to want to say it! I'm sick of having faith when it's convenient. I want to live it ALL THE TIME.

"How dare you waste your life where you are not needed... To settle for something prescribed by the culture...is to give up the dream. You are called to be social change agents, revolutionaries for the Kingdom." -Dr. Tony Campolo in chapel on September 6th

Each of these question where we think we're going versus where God wants us. For me, He's telling me to wait. For me, it's easier to settle for something prescribed. Like I mentioned in convo a couple weeks ago, I don't want to measure my life out in coffee spoons like T.S. Eliot describes. I want to be willing to go or change whenever for whatever, however. May I rest in Your sovereignty, Father.
