wait
I have never waited well.
I am terrible at transitions.
I abhor in-between.
I want to be Here or There
but I cannot abide Nowhere.
And yet
this season
this season I wait.
I sit still
and I try not to pace
but I feel my feet shuffling.
I try not to fret
but I feel my heart pounding.
People ask me, “Are you praying? Are you talking to God?”
And I say, “Yes. As I breathe in and out. As I drive and as I sit. I mean – I talk, except I’m not certain what words I’m saying.”
“And what does He answer?” they ask.
I shake my head.
“I ….. I don’t know.”
I think maybe something about waiting.

Dear Lacey, every time I read the scriptures I think of you, and say,I should
send that to Lacy,
Wait on the Lord
Be of good courage
and He shall strengthen your heart.
Wait, I say on the Lord.
Ps.27:14
You are my rock and my fortress
Therefore, for your name sake
Lead me and guide me.
Ps. 30:3
The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,
And His ears are open to their cry.
Ps 34:15
Call on me and I will answer and show you great and
mighty things you do not know.
Jer. 33:3
Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
Lean not unto your own understanding,
In all your ways acknowledge Him and
He will direct your path.
Prov.3: 5-6
Praying with out ceasing for you. much Christian love sent your way.

“I waited patiently (?) for The Lord. He turned to me and heard me. He brought me out of the horrible pit and set my feet on
The Rock.”
waiting
just waiting
My heart beats
I cook
I speak
I hug and
Cry and
Wash the sheets.
And
My heart beats
I go.
I stay.
I pray, I think.
I think and think and think.
And long for
Long oblivion
And
Rest.
My heart beats.
And I am never sure
Of who I am.
I’ve lost my name, my frame
My self
In this unending pain.
My. heart. just. keeps. beating.
But slowly, interminably slowly
With prayers of blessing
From the multitudes
Of God’s most faithful ones,
I live.
And Wait In Peace.
“Why is my soul cast down? And why disquieted within me?
Hope in God.
I shall yet praise Him,
My Help and
My God.”
Know for sure, Dear One, that we pray as you wait.
