I have a real problem with waiting. This post made me think of a quote I keep among my reminders - I don’t know to whom it is attributed but it’s always a good reminder for me. “Biblically speaking ‘to wait’ is to manifest the kind of trust that is willing to commit itself to God over the long haul. It is to continue to believe and expect when all others have given up. It is to believe that it is better for something to happen in God’s time than for it to happen on my initiative in my time”. Thank you for the reminder.

😇 I’ve been collecting quotes since 2011! That’s one of them.

That’s a good question. I think the former defines most of us. It’s a challenge to live by faith.
