Not the ER waiting room. Life’s waiting room. You’ve been there. I’m there.  Sitting, waiting, wishing, hoping, dreaming, praying…

The most stressed I’ve ever been in my life is where I am right now. Nothing in my life is concrete [my relationship with Jesus is, yes I agree]. I have no reason to get organized, no reason to get excited [except eternal life, yes I agree]. I’m looking forward to what is coming in my life but, it’s stressful when you have absolutely no idea what, who, how, where it is.

God is it so bad for me to ask for some insight? For some grounding.

I’m an idealist, I see what could be, I’m not sure I even can see what is. Tonight is about the closest I have ever been to that. I see an un-organized problem and I solve it. So Lord I ask that this evening you send your holy spirit upon me and give me rest. You would reassure me that everything is going to be alright. That you "would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain" [1 Chronicles  4:10].

Better is open rebuke than love that is hidden.

Meglio una riprensione aperta che un amore nascosto.

Proverbs 27:5
