waiting

I'm sitting here at The Coffee House waiting for our Artist Group to arrive.

I love them - they're worth waiting for.  They're not late - I'm early.  So conveniently it's 70 degrees and lovely outside as I sit here waiting with my amazing iced coffee outside!

I sat here and started thinking about all the waiting I'm currently doing.

-I'm waiting for dinner until later.
-I'm waiting for our first grandchild to arrive,
-I'm waiting (and not anxious) to say goodbye to our daughter and son-in-law for a year as they prepare to be missionaries in Cambodia.  I couldn't be happier that they are following God and using their talents to serve orphans over there, I'll just miss them terribly!
-I'm waiting for answers to about 20 emails I sent out today
-I'm waiting to talk to a few friends that I miss very much
-I'm waiting and looking forward to several concerts and special events that are coming to Crossroads
-I'm waiting for a difficult conversation that I know is coming


I can easily spend my whole day just waiting.

God often brings to my mind the fact that I have done nothing at the end of a busy day to move closer to Him. 

How much of my life has He been waiting for me...
