esperando y esperanza
i will wait for the Lord, who is hiding His face from the house of Jacob. i will put my trust in Him.
sometimes, i am learning, there is abundant life to be found in waiting.
my impatient, earnest, and unseasoned heart often jumps at the prospect of adventure and discovery. but what of the still quiet times? it is sanctuary and refuge i often find myself seeking from the Lord but how often do i truly seek to truly dwell there? i feel as if it is a paradoxical lesson i am learning at the moment. in the midst of huge changes and adventures -- exciting and unknown opportunities -- i am being challenged, more than anything, just to simply be still and be content in waiting.
i hunger for normality.
i thirst of regularity.
but life will have nothing of the sort.
it is change and risk that drives us forward and i am challenged to progress. and so i concede to be alive in waiting for the day when life will take on some sense of routine.
isaiah 8:17
