Recently I spent half my morning trying to adjust an order I’d made online. I used the site’s online chat option. On my 1st attempt I was customer #1 in the quiche. Tia told me I needed to call an 877 number to get an account number that I could use on live chat. That phone number put me through to a representative in India. She told me to go to the company website & walked me through applying for the number I was seeking. Securing that number I went back to live chat; this time I was customer #4 in the queue. Trevor put me on hold while he researched my case. Finally he told me I would either have to cancel my order & place a new one or call my local store directly. I was kicked off live chat before I could ask which store he was referring to: the one in Hanover or the one in York. Going back on live chat I was customer #8…
Why is it that it’s easier to do something for someone than to wait for someone? When you submit your life to Christ for service in His Kingdom you will often find yourself being inconvenienced. Those inconveniences provide you with a wonderful opportunity to build patience, endurance & maturity. Don’t think God doesn’t know how to run His Kingdom just because you have to spend some time on hold! It’s ALL part of the plan.
