Waiting and Watching

 

To be in a state of waiting and watching is so very appropriate considering the season we are in.  My days have been ticking by, a blur of snow (lots of it), Advent musings, and waiting.  Waiting for things I can define and for things I cannot.  It is a strange season of life for me, but one that I have a feeling will be remembered as beautiful.  I am a stew of mixed feelings and emotions and have decided that my current status is undeniably good therapy for a recovering control freak.  (Have you checked out the statistics on “due dates?”)  I am thankful for a concrete experience of waiting on a Savior, One who is promised and certain to come.  I’m glad He did for countless reasons, but especially considering how much I have always needed Him and need Him now.  Polly is just waiting for our walks to start again.  I wish there was a way for a dog to understand why there hasn’t been one…
