Waiting wastes time. Or does it?
Do you ever feel irritated as a stoplight turns red-green-yellow then red again, and you’re still not through the intersection? Me, too! Inching along tests my patience. Through all of those times of

Active waiting is a great way to pray and people watch. Getting frustrated will never have the line moving any faster LOL.
Teresa, that’s so true!
What a timely message from my dear friend for years, Holli! I am trying to be actively waiting now ..we have recently moved to Brazil and it feels like all I do is wait! For permanent housing, a new car. Our belongings from the US, for covid to go away, for internet, for food, for anything to settle my heart and distract from missing our family~~especially during the holidays. I confess that I spend an inordinate amount of time on social media or doing brain games…especially compared to time in prayer or scripture reading! Thank you, Holli, for the encouraging words of hope in my journey of “waiting”! Love and miss you!❤🇧🇷
Thank you, Ellen! We miss you, too, and pray for you often.
Feliz Natal!
Thank you Holli for reminding us of the opportunities and benefits in waiting. Waiting doesn’t have to be a “nothing” but can be a very important “something”.
Thank you, Marilyn. Waiting, for me, is often a surrender of my “hurry up and fix it” mode. I find new beauty and blessings in the moments (or years) of waiting.
Certainly something to ponder. Waiting can be excruciating or it can be a great experience like when you wait for a baby to be born.
I agree, it is often difficult! Nothing I do to hurry the waiting process ever produces a better outcome than God’s timing.
