The Waiting Room

Life has a way of making you wait. Sometimes we have to wait to hear difficult news or fantastic news. Sometimes we have to wait our turn in line to purchase something or be refused an opportunity. Either way, waiting can be hard. What I'm learning in my own waiting spaces is that the discomfort serves a purpose. It's not always comfortable, welcomed, or presently rewarding...but the gifts that will follow, the life lessons and relationships, the quiet talks, and occasional reassurances keep me focused and faithful to God's word. This part of the journey is the section my flesh would omit but my character is built in. If you find yourself in the waiting room, rest assured that you're in good company for it's the place of preparation.
