Waiting


We have been waiting for a long time. (or so it feels) In fact, waiting has been something that Bill and I are getting really good at. I would venture to say we are even becoming pros. :)

Hurry up and wait. It's the name of the game.

We wait on the Lord to reveal His will.

This is a big week for us. Tomorrow is the 16th. A final decision is going to be made about our future. There are days when it has felt like it ALL hangs in the balance, but we know this isn't true. He has a plan, no matter what the decision is.

It's like opening a package on Christmas morning. I know that whatever is in that box is going to be good...because it was given to us by the Giver who gives good gifts.

So we wait with anticipation and hope...no matter what this weeks answer will bring.


Yet those who wait for the LORD Will gain new strength; They will mount up with wings like eagles, They will run and not get tired, They will walk and not become weary. Is 40:31

I know the "hurry up and wait" feeling all too well. I think that has been the name of the game for us these past two years!

You have a beautiful attitude and faith. I don't know if you read this blog, but she is wonderful. Your words remind me of her recent post : http://www.aholyexperience.com/2011/08/for-the-days-that-seem-to-be-going-bad/

"From where we stand, we can't see whether it's something good or bad. All we know is that God's sovereign and He is always good, working all things for good."

I think of you and pray for you often, Elizabeth. Thanks for sharing your heart.
