Anticipation

We spend most of our lives waiting. Waiting for the next big stage, the next big promotion, the next big thing. I have come to consider learning to wait a discipline that will take a lifetime to master. And waiting happens in such small increments. I feel every five minutes I have to remind myself to wait on the Lord. To live in the moment and not in some projected moment in the future.

The last thing I want is to finally reach the point I have been waiting for and look back with regret at all the empty days I just spent waiting.

I want to live every moment, fill everything out so there is no space left, learn all I can, try everything I dare, and learn to trust the Lord.

Amen to that. Thanks for verbalizing that thought, it resonates.
