Adjustment..Worth the Wait?

I pray each of you had a wonderful night's sleep last night.  I have had better, but not because of worry or stress, I got a new pillow!  My chiropractor recommended a contour pillow to help the problem with my neck and although it doesn't seem that hard to to the touch, it is that hard to sleep on it.  I realize that it will take a few nights for me to adjust but do you ever wonder why it is that you would want to do something that takes 'adjusting to' instead of what is comfortable from the get go?

 

In all honesty, I never really thought about it much.  In today's society we all look for instant gratification.  We all want it NOW!  We want our food now, we want our clothes now, we want what we want and we want it now.  No waiting,

no learning, no adjusting.  If it is not exactly as it should be from the beginning we get grumpy and dissatisfied. 

 

I have learned that with God not everything comes quickly or when I would like for it to.  In life, the things we have to work on or wait for are always the most important.  Like being pregnant.  Sometimes it takes a while to accomplish that

status, and then 40 weeks of carrying the baby to finally give birth.  But man is it worth the wait.  Getting married for most of us is the same way.  Going through college.  Training for the right job. Building any kind of relationship...they all take

time.  Even building our relationship with Jesus.  Although he accepts us, he forgives us and he loves us from the start, building that relationship of trust and faith takes time.  So, I will give my pillow time to grow on me, for us to meld together for my

well-being and my comfort.  My relationship with Jesus has been worth the sacrifices and worth the work and worth the wait.  I'm betting my pillow will be too!  My neck is depending on it!
