Our waiting is about our faith. We are to wait in faith knowing that everything is exactly the way He wants it to be. Waiting is about giving up our own agenda and surrendering our own desires, affections, and will as we step out in obedient faith. We are not in control of the universe. God is. God is in charge of His world and He has a purpose for each one of us in every situation.
Psalm 37 is a song of soul-counsel for waiting saints. It was composed by King David, an experienced wait-er. In it, he describes the potentially debilitating anxiety and confusion we experience while waiting on God.

In What Are You Waiting For? The One Thing No One Ever Tells You About Sex, Dannah Gresh tackles some of the most difficult questions girls have concerning sex. In today's era, Christian girls are being bombarded with opinions regarding sex, both from the secular world and from the church. Gresh takes the questions girls have asked her as a counselor and author, and gives clear answers from a biblical and a practical perspective.Dannah Gresh has written many bestselling books concerning female dignity, goals, careers, and gender identity, and she has spoken across the country to girls and young woman in regard to purity. The book flows as if she were actually on a stage speaking to a crowd of teens. It is informal, funny, down-to-earth, and straightforward.Gresh makes it a point to start off with the statement, "This book is not for spiritual monks." She wants to be real about the topic of sex and not sugar-coat what the world preaches or what the Bible says. She focuses on the original Hebrew word for "sex," and uses biblical and personal examples to support her views.This book is unlike any other purity book out there. It goes back to the origin of the topic itself and gives real-world examples of girls who have made the right or the wrong choices. Its strength lies in the fact that it's not a book for "spiritual monks," but a book for real girls who want real answers. I highly recommend this book for females from middle school to college, believing this book will make a difference in the lives of those who read it. Demelza Ramirez, www.ChristianBookPreviews.com

IT is not all math and science. Your success in IT is not dependent on how far you took your math studies or the grades you got. IT pros need a balanced skill set that includes soft skills like communication, project management and problem solving. While technical skills are important, they can be learned more easily than a strong work ethic, a natural curiosity and the ability to work well with others. If you have the dedication and motivation to learn, succeed and strive for improvement, you can learn hardware, cybersecurity, coding or whatever technical skills are needed for your dream job.
