Waiting Stinks

Waiting...there are very few things in this world that match the difficulty of waiting.  We can't wait for someone to call us back so we have call waiting.  The biggest event of my week was going into the revenue office and NOT having to "get a number!"  Personally, I feel like I'm good a doing.  When I think of an idea...I've probably already begun the process.  But waiting???  Waiting stinks.

"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."  Isaiah 40:31 (NASB)

As Shelli and I have entered a ministry that is new to us we now find ourselves waiting.  No doubt I'm working and running and striving...but yet waiting.  I find myself seeing the BIG picture of what ministry will look like, then I find myself running towards it.  Then, I find myself tired and weary.  Waiting...

One thing I know is that waiting gives way to greater faith.  I've waited for the Lord before and I'll do it again because those who wait will not grow weary.  Today don't grow weary in waiting, strength is in the Lord.
