about three years ago, my friend introduced me to the concept of the waiting room. she talked about how before she dated her now husband, she was waiting in this waiting room for him to "come around". when she introduced me to the subject, she and i were in the waiting room, just different ones. i was in the waiting room of desiring a new husband and she was in the waiting room of having a baby. we fervently prayed for one another... she currently has the cutest chubbiest little baby girl ever... and we continue to pray for me.
last night at digging deeper, our church small group, we shared about how in life there are a variety of waiting rooms. and it's a hard place to be in... but how the Lord says to not worry or be anxious in the times of the unknown, but to trust in His faithfulness. we may continue to move from one waiting room to the other hoping that they would call our name so we could actually go in, but til our name is called, we need to wait patiently and trust in the Lord.
i think about that for me too... how i continue to be in waiting rooms, sometimes several at a time just wanting them to call my name... but until my name is called, i will commit to remembering God's faithfulness throughout my life and continue to trust!!
