Waiting....

Waiting can be painful. We wait in line at the store, we wait at a red light, we wait for confirmation, we wait for a new job. Right now we are waiting to find a new place to plant some roots and call home. For awhile. There is a joke in my family that Marny just likes to move. On the contrary! But every time we have moved it was for a better opportunity. And now our circumstances have presented us with yet another chance to move. We have had a hard time finding a place. I don't want to find something to just be a quick fix or a band-aid. That would just continue this crazy cycle of moving, and it isn't pretty or fun.

I recently posted on Facebook that "waiting is the hardest game to play." We get frustrated. We may become so focused on the end product or place that we lose our path and get a little lost. But, we wait. And wait. Timing is everything in life. When things line up it becomes a relief. Getting the puzzle piece by piece is so excruciating sometimes. But, that is how our character is built. Faith, that within the bigger picture lies a bigger message of trust. Trust that the right place will fall into our laps and be just what we need and hopefully have a few of our "wish-list" items too. So, for now our family is character building and waiting for the right place to come along. And I know it will.
