Lauren Sisler

Waiting with Obedience

Revisado: 10-21-22

I’ve had the pleasure to get to know Jerry and his wife Carol over the past year as my wife Lauren and I were coincidencly placed at a table together at a Highlands College leadership dinner. We joke because it wasn’t random; it was a God thing. My wife had been working on her book and introduced Jerry to the publishing company where he used to write “While You Wait.” I, myself, had been in a season of waiting for the next step of my career, and he continues to help me through that threshold.

This book came out at a perfect time of my life, I am still waiting for my business to take off, and my patience has been running thin. I realized I haven’t been waiting with obedience, and I have been waiting for my next chapter on my time and not God’s. I must cherish each day and not wish it away to achieve a better tomorrow. We live in a world where everything is instant, and things still don’t come fast enough. After reading this book, I've decided I need to commit to living and cherishing one day at a time, constantly making the right decisions, and focus on others because you never know when you'll cross paths with a “Jerry Meek.”

Chapter 11, Burn your ships, really hit hard with me in the season of life I'm in. Completely burnt out in my career dealing with the general public daily, God continues to show me a business dealing with people in a higher capacity. Something that sounds so unappealing at the moment, but God continues to call me to it. The problem is, I haven't burnt my ships and completely committed, or I might have been further along in God's plan by now.

When you have the chance to meet a Jerry Meek in your life, fly across the country, spend time with them, and don't take the relationship for granted because crossing paths is a God thing.
