"Waiting on God requires the willingness to bear uncertainty, to carry within myself the unanswered question, lifting my heart to God whenever it intrudes upon my thoughts." -Elisabeth Elliot
For the most part I feel like I willingly bear a lot of things. The high-pitched screams of little girls, getting up right after I sit down - because someone needs something, the drive to Audrey's school, the lack of sleep I feel I have all the time, my cooking... I could go on - but I won't.
The things I bear you could expect - practically predict. I am not a person who carries around unanswered questions. I google things and viola ~ my mind is set free. But of late, I have unanswered questions and I know it is not google who will ultimatly lead me to my answer.
So I plan on doing a lot of heavy lifting to God. I plan on showing a lot more willingness. I plan on bearing one more thing... uncertainty.
And my itsy, bitsy, teeny-tiny prayer is that maybe he won't make me WAIT so long!
