WAIT FOR THE LORD!

Why

Am

I

Talking

Wait---(Hebrew--Qavah (קָוָה, kah-VAH) ) look for with a hopeful expectation

Talk less and trust more comes to my mind!

DayLight Saving time begins tomorrow, March 8, 2026.

If our time seems to be cut short, especially sleep time, we need to make the most of the time given. 

Think listen more and talk less. Be still and know God better. 

Rely on Him & His strength; serve others well in the time given.

TRUST

TRUST! Easy to type. Hard to hold on to some days.

Yesterday's phone call from doc had me tightly embracing trust in Him once again.

What a great reminder this was------

But those who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; 

they shall rise up with wings like eagles; 

they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint. 

(Isaiah 40:31)

Quest continues ...emotionally, part 2

2/1/13 The verse I closed with last night, because I was too tired to continue the blog, reminded me that fear is not from Him.

For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. (2 Timothy 1:7)

Looking back on the week, (after my home invasion) I saw that fear, which is from the pit,  robbed me of that sound mind that comes from His hand. I had spent a week in limbo---that fear permeated so many of my thoughts that everything seemed to be LARGER than life.

The limbo of waiting exacerbated by fear:

• Waiting for the police to arrive
• Waiting for peace of mind to return
• Waiting for a coherent thought to take shape
• Waiting for "walking" weather so I could walk---not only to clear my head but to continue "training" for upcoming rigorous trip to Disney World
• Waiting for blood work from lab that had to be "redone"
• Waiting in 2 doctor's offices for "scary/unknown" procedures 
• Waiting for physical therapy on leg/hip pain to diminish pain
• Waiting for biopsy report---on a place above my eyebrow I had never even noticed

But God, on the anniversary of THE event.....sent a late afternoon message that face biopsy was negative.

But God.......in His love and mercy sent a blog comment of encouragement from a long ago student, Nancy E.

But God.....in His goodness had me open a email this morning (though sent yesterday from Australia) from Jesus Calling author, Sarah Young, who has also experienced the violation of a break-in. She is praying.

I waited patiently for the Lord;
    he turned to me and heard my cry.
He lifted me out of the slimy pit,
    out of the mud and mire;
he set my feet on a rock
    and gave me a firm place to stand.
He put a new song in my mouth,
    a hymn of praise to our God.
Many will see and fear the Lord
    and put their trust in him. (Psalm 40:1-3)

Quest ends where it should have begun...with the Lord.
