waiting

Waiting is difficult. I am not very good at it. Yesterday was particularly hard for me. I found myself spontaneously starting to cry because I am tired of waiting. In my soul I would say to God "what is the point of all this waiting?"

Now I could tell you about how I can see that in waiting I see things that I would never have seen should I not have to wait. Or how waiting helps me to be patient. Or how certain experiences in my relationship with Jesus would never have come about if I didn't have to wait. But I'm not going to tell you that.

I asked God "what is the point of all this waiting?" and He said, "I'm doing things you know nothing about."
