The Journey Begins

Wait quietly. The victory will come. Based on Psalm 62

I know…the date is over a year ago on this blog. It’s been on the back burner simmering like a fine sauce. The entree had to be something I could put my fork into. Like a tender piece near the bone. Today I’m starting again. Life is definitely at a place of waiting for EVERYONE. Thanks for reading and waiting with me. It’s been a prayer of mine to blog again. I pray you employ yourself in the wait.

THE WAITING ROOM-

Close family and friends know this place. It is a haven of hangout for news or an event. Waiting rooms bring to mind hospitals. News of a new baby, the outcome of a surgery or procedure. For me its also included areas outside of airports, court rooms and auditioning spaces. A place of waiting to be restored, judged or chosen. Recently, for my husband a waiting room was a sacred time with our daughter to walk her down the aisle.

Initallly, they can be a place of frustation, or anxiety. Generally, they are a place of stillness of soul. A time to prepare for what’s ahead. Decsions are made in us, for us and for our loved ones. Something shifts in the waiting room. If it remains a hopeful place for a good outcome we’ve fought half the battle. We can breathe. If we can acknowlege the outcome is not ours, the battle is won. We can move on and have our being.

Today like many, my waiting is at home. Whats roaring outside in the mucus of our society is threatening. We isolate for the greater good, our fellow man, woman and child. We wash our hands. We prepare our hearts. Quiet, relfective time is what we’re given. A sabbath of sorts. Time… to write, pray, make a pillow, cook and freeze a savory meal, read, learn a new song or skill. We don’t know who will need our creatvity, our time, our gifts in the coming days. We do know we have time to think about those things in our waiting rooms and then activate them.

I’m excited about how we will use our time. What will be the collective of good in our waiting rooms? New music, art, books, inventions, remedies, or even people? We have been given a pause. A place in time and space to be still. Let’s think on the good of these things as we wait.
