Wait-verb used (without object)
to remain inactive or in a state of response, as until something expected happens (often followed by for, till, or until)
also...to look forward to eagerly.
Waiting. It's not always a bad thing. Often times it forces you to stop what you would normally be doing to...breath.
They have been doing construction on our street for the past few weeks. There is actually a sign that says "Expect 20 minute delays." Crazy! This road is the only one that leads from our house to anywhere we want to go. It seems like I never remember they are doing this work so I'm ridiculously surprised every time. However, I have come to really enjoy this time. It gives me a chance to read the word or write a word like I'm doing now (in my journal). I'm actually surprised that my reactions have been consistently positive. I've been spending more time in the word and hearing positive, encouraging things from my peers. Some of it also comes from the new lifestyle I'm living. I don't really HAVE to be anywhere. It's the first time in a long time that I have limited time responsibilities. I am so thankful to the Lord for bringing me to this place in my life.
As I reflect and think about the many time responsibilities that come with having children I send praises of gratitude to the Lord most high for each day like these days to be able to sit and wait gratefully in my car just hanging out with my Papa.
side note---I carry a journal around with me to write these ideas in and it has scripture at the bottom of each page. I am finding the Lord using these pages creatively to confirm the words I am putting on them. Here's what was on the page for this entry:
And therefore will the Lord wait, that He may be gracious unto you and therefore He will be exhaulted, that He may have mercy upon you. -Isaiah 30:18
