After

I don't know about anyone else but I don't like to wait.  I jump on everything early. I have written my last three research papers way earlier than they were due.  I've already written the forum posts for my class this summer.  I just don't want to wait.  But unfortunately, you have to wait for some things.  Especially in the Christian life.  In John 2 it says that the disciples didn't realize until after Jesus died what some of his sayings meant.  I wonder if the holding pattern I've been in the last few weeks will become clear one day. 

Waiting

I'm not a very patient person.  I'm early for almost all appointments.  If I'm late there is probably a good reason.  I don't like waiting in my spiritual life either.  It seems like God has had me waiting a lot over the last few years.   Not sure why but I've been in a stall or even going backward.  I guess God has a sense of humor.  I know I'll know what is happening one day but today it is hard.
