While I Wait

With apprehension I step out in faith. I balance crane like with one foot underneath me, the other in midair. I know I'm on the right path because the step is aglow, and I am both excited and fearful at the same time. I cringe, shut my eyes, and hold my breath as I feel for the next foothold. I slide one foot onto the stone, balance, and my other foot follows until both feet are firmly planted underneath me. I open my eyes and wait because the next step is not illuminated yet, but I know it will be very soon.

What do I do while I wait? I take care of my family, I pray, I improve my website, I pray, I write, I pray, I look for more connections and I pray

some more, until one day the next step is lit.

1 Thessalonians 5:16 reads, "Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."

I stand with both feet planted, waiting for my dream of publishing and speaking to be realized. Will you join me in rejoicing, praying, and giving thanks while I wait? We are all waiting for something. Contact me to say what you are waiting for, that way I can pray for you too.
