class="content__text" Waiting. Many of the conversations I’ve been having recently have been about waiting. Waiting for change. Waiting for marriage. Waiting for what’s next. Waiting for children. Waiting for healing. Waiting for ______. Waiting for a miracle. Waiting for a new season. Waiting for things to be made right. Waiting for an answer. I’m there, too. With waiting comes wrestling and wondering. The truth often gets buried as we scroll social media, seeing others receive what we have been praying and hoping for. Day after day we are reminded that life is heavy and we are not in control. But the truth doesn’t stop being true. Recently I’ve been coming back to the truth that stretches deep inside of me: God knows. He sees me and hears me and loves me. He cares. And He knows waiting, too. Today, I’ll hold fast and breathe deep and look up and say amen and see what happens. Because something is certainly happening in the waiting. After all, God wastes nothing and He does not waste waiting.
