Waiting

The scriptures tell us that those who wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength.  They shall mount up on wings like eagles.  They shall run and not grow weary; they shall walk and not grow faint.  

These last few days and these weeks to come really ought to be strength renewers.  We wait to hear about our house offer we made on Friday.  We wait to see if Carlotta will find a job, and if she should find a job even for a while.  We wait to see when we're going to move.  We wait to see who's the next family member to call worried that we're going to be homeless or destitute.  (Thanks for your concern though)  

When you're a doer, waiting is some of the hardest stuff of your life.  But... they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength.  So as we wait, we ask for God's patience.  This all is a part of just building our trust in Him and suprisingly, I'm not feeling stressed about it.  I've rather decided to just try and enjoy it.  Enjoy the shaping, and the molding and the waiting.  

When was the last time you enjoyed the waiting?
