In His timing, He awakens specific spiritual gifts, specific passions,
specific doors of opportunity - for such a time as this.  Perhaps these
things have been a part of us since He created us.  In His wisdom He's
been cultivating these attributes, watering them, pruning them - so
when He's ready, these things spring up, blossom, are birthed into our
lives - as a display of Him, to bring Him glory.

Psalm 57:2 says, "I cry out to God Most High, to God, who fulfills his
purposes for me."  Continuing on Psalm 57:7 says, "My heart is
steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast; I will sing and make music." 
The word steadfast means "fixed in direction; unwavering and firm in
purpose; undeviating constancy; not shakable."  The Psalm reads my heart is fixed on You, Lord. I will not be moved from this gaze upon You.
Verse 8 of Psalm 57 is full of emotion as it calls out, "Awake, my
soul!"  Then lastly verse 9 is our response to the Lord bringing forth
His purposes in our lives.  It reads, "I will praise you, O Lord, among
the nations; I will sing of you among the peoples."

We must trust in the truth that not only does God have
a purpose for us (Jer 29:11), but that He also fulfills his purpose for
us (Ps. 57:2).  We do our part by remaining steadfast to Him.  And we
wait in great expectation for the awakenings of our soul.  When the
hidden mysteries become known and it seems another piece of the puzzle
fits.  When we see new giftings, talents, and passions birthed in us.
And when this happens, the natural response is praise (Ps 57:9).  We
cannot help but to praise Him.

This awakening of our soul, I believe, is a continual process.  The
Lord awakens what's inside of us over and over again as we choose to
follow where He leads us on this journey.  He continually brings forth
attributes of Him in us as we are being transformed into His image from
glory to glory (2 Cor 3:18).  May my heart be ever steadfast and may my
soul be continually awakened!
