Waiting is a discipline.  Especially when we live in the times of constant immediacy.  Heck, pulling up this webpage I wanted to hit refresh because it didn’t load within a couple of seconds. 🙂 We are so used to things happening at such a quick space that when we are experiencing a waiting time we get easily frustrated and want to just start over or give up.  It takes courage to hold on to the possibility of fruition in God’s time.  Being that I can recognize that God created everything and not all at lightening speed, I have faith that God’s time is good enough.  I don’t always have the same faith in my ability to wait or my ability to hold on to it being possible.  My courage to continue to conceive in faith.  But what is my alternative?  I have found that only living in immediacy is fleeting. It is character building to be able to wait.  I am here for a lifetime (I presume) and I want to be a person of character, not a flash in the pan.  I want to be someone who creates and loves and gives and has a life.  So if having times of waiting for the grandeur of a God that loves and wants the best for me is in order, I will wait today.  My prayer for us today is that we have the courage to continue to conceive of what is possible when we are in a period of waiting.  Make it a great one!
