• Waiting

  I think this was the better part of our day...waiting.  We have been waiting for various responses about different things.  Some of it had to do with others news and some had to do with people we were waiting to hear from.  Slowly, but surely, throughout the day much of the waiting game ended.  A couple of things will have to wait until tomorrow.

  Things we learned today that I can share.  One church member is in the hospital with an enlarged heart, so no, he can't meet with Corey today.  He says wait until the weekend.  Another church member responds to tell me that we will talk on the weekend.  Ok, I suppose that these responses just yielded more waiting.  So often that is the story.  Hurry up and wait.  BUT they were responses.  Heard from a friend I have been praying for, yes, the response yielded more praying and more waiting.  

  The big news I have been waiting for is about my friend's son, Joshua Mort.  The test results were due to come in today.  Not all tests are in, but it does not look like cancer.  This is good news.  It is likely aplastic anemia, but the doctors are still trying to unravel the cause so as to understand the treatment.  Hmm...smells like more waiting and praying.

  I suppose that one might think that all the waiting yielded responses that involved more waiting would be frustrating.  In a sense it is, but I am ok with that.  We did find out lots of things today.  We can see how God is at work on the lives of people that we are involved with, and we can also see where we need to keep praying.

  Changing the topic to a more fun one...Today is my parent's wedding anniversary.  Yay!  I love my parents and am so thankful for them.
