Dear God,

Usually, I want waiting to end.  I can be impatient.  But this Advent is different; I like the waiting.  I need this time of spiritual waiting because in the midst of it all is my hope in you.

I can't really explain it but I know that I know that I know that this is a significant time.  Waiting in order to meet you is more than a gift.  It is life-sustaining.

I am not well.  I have much to do but in order to deal with both I need this holding time with you.  While I bake, I think of you.  When I fold clothes, I think of you.  When I wash dishes, mop the floor and clean up the house, I think of you.  Waiting is opening the door to you and I am so grateful!

Loving God,

how is it

you choose

to open doors

to your heart

for me?

Why me?

I am

not worthy;

yet, you come

to me.

I love you.

Yours, Andrea
