FMF: Finally

Finally evokes two different meanings to me: A ‘lastly’, and an ‘at last’.

So in this case I might say, ‘Finally, I’ve finally written a post for this week’s actual prompt.’

There is a sense of expectancy and waiting implied by the word – and possibly either nervous anticipation or joyful longing for the thing to happen and the struggle and wait to come to an end.

Either way, the implication is that we are ready for what is to happen.

There is also a sense of one thing coming to an end and another about to begin.

Life is a series of endings and beginnings.

Even if the day has been long, it finally comes to an end; even when sleep has been elusive, the morning finally comes.

All things finally come to an end at their allotted time and the new life begins.

Seasons, days, life cycles – all in God’s time and according to His perfect order.

What am I waiting for?

For the most part, I am at a place of great contentment in my life – there are things I look forward to and others which are more challenging – but I can’t think of a ‘finally’ that I am anticipating, except in that there are some things I have been praying for a long time, but they will happen in God’s time.

The scripture comes to me: ‘Though it tarry it will surely come’ Habakkuk 2:3

For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry.

The message for me then is to keep trusting God – in the waiting, in the tarrying, in the impatience.

Wait patiently.

Trust Him.

Finally I’ve written a post for this week’s FMF prompt word: ‘Finally’
