Dear God,

It is time to wait again.  All during Advent we waited.  We were reminded how important waiting is.  We learned there are many gifts while we wait.

Now, I am waiting to know if I have cancer in other places in my body besides my bladder.  I have to wait six weeks to get the results of tests.  This kind of waiting is exhausting.  Yet, while I wait you wait for me to come running to you.  You invite me to walk with you, to saunter down paths toward peace, hope and joy.  You want to grow my faith, increase my trust and teach me greater life lessons.  These are the gifts, the hidden gems of waiting.

Teach me

once more

the meaning

of waiting.

Help me 

surrender into

your hands.

Lead me,

Lord,

to wait

with grace,

hope and peace.

Yours, Andrea
