Summary
Waiting on something has taken up most of my life. Waiting for answered prayers that occupied my heart and hoping that God was paying attention. In this podcast we will talk about the difficulty and sometimes pain we have when we are waiting for answers from God. We will also talk about the value in learning to wait as well as the ways God blesses beyond the waiting time we are in.
- God is in control--we must humble ourselves to let Him be God and king over our lives to wait well.
Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes look to the Lord our God until He is gracious to us. Psalm 123:2
- Be still and know that I am God. Psalm 46:10
- Faith is believing when we cannot see--choosing to believe when we absolutely do not know what is happening or what will happen--we choose to believe in God.
Wait for the Lord, be strong and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for the Lord. Psalm 27:14
Be still before the LORD, rest and wait patiently for him; do not fret when people succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes. Psalm 37:7
- Waiting brings deep wisdom and perspective and stretches our character muscles
- Waiting develops humility and compassion and extends your ability to minister to others
Yet those who wait for the Lord
Will gain new strength;
They will mount up with wings like eagles,
They will run and not get tired,
They will walk and not become weary.
Isaiah 40:31

| 0:31.1 | Good morning, sweet friends. It's Sally Clarkson and it is the Thursday before Christmas |
| 0:43.3 | in 2017. Though I hope many of you will listen to this for many days to come, many years |
| 0:49.2 | to come maybe. But I am getting ready to actually stay the Wednesday before Christmas. I need |
| 0:54.3 | to get myself straight. I am getting ready to go out to breakfast with my sweet joy. |
| 1:00.6 | I haven't had a week alone with her ever. I don't think at least not in a long time |
| 1:06.2 | and we're getting ready for my boys to come home tomorrow. And we've got lots of last |
| 1:11.5 | minute things to do today because tomorrow the high will be 22 and the low will be zero |
| 1:17.9 | and it's going to be snowing. So we're trying to get everything to done this morning. |

| 1:39.5 | As I've been talking with Joy and with a couple of other friends lately, I realized that |
| 1:43.5 | waiting is the most common thing or it is the most prominent thing in my whole life. I |
| 1:52.3 | think if you look at a normal average person, they wait maybe when they're younger and |
| 1:59.5 | they wait for Christmas and then they wait to see if they'll get into college and they |
| 2:03.8 | wait to see if they'll get scholarships and as I look at my kids and they wait to fall |
