<< delayed >>

Thu Aug 31, 2006, 4:33 AM
Mood: Unimpressed i'm in a waiting rm.
Listening to: Imogen Heap
Reading: Acts
Watching: Noomas

Delayed. It's the word of the week - no the month. Our new building at the church (Life Connection Center) - delayed. My highly anticipated copy of Kyle Lake's Film (and the t-shirt) - delayed. Went yesterday to buy a new car from the Car Auction, didn't happen so much - delayed. The Youth Stage, complete with maddeningly wonderful stereo equiptment - not delayed, but awaiting the completion of the Building.

160 times throughout Scripture, the words "wait, waiting, waited, waiteth, or await" appear. It seems like humanity is constantly living a hurry-up and wait life. Waiting invevitably involves trust & faith. The two are separate, yet intricately involved. Waiting and Trusting. Stuff that, collectively, we have never been too good at. It's a constant rise and fall, with a rhythm that changes almost daily; if we're being honest.

I have sought God with this new phenomenon. I will write more about this later. Gotsta run...

Shall we say, the completion of this very post, until then - delayed.

PS: You can enjoy the latest wallpaper, which will kind of set the visual tone for this conversation...

How very true.

In the meantime, though, what are we doing?

For instance, I have the hope of being married one day, but what am I doing in the meantime? How am I preparing for this?

I have a hope of having a great career in the future, but what am I doing TODAY?

This "waiting" phenomenon doesn't just mean sitting on our rears. It also means pushing toward God with all the strength we can muster. It means growing in wisdom and stature and in favour with God and men.

Thanks for this! Hope you're doing well!
