I can tell you that waiting is not one of my fondest pastimes. I have been known to drive miles out of my way just so I don't have to wait for stoplights on busy thoroughfares. Waiting in Dr's offices, waiting on hold, waiting for a deserved promotion, and waiting in line at WalMart. All of these things are tedious and a seeming waste of my life. Centering prayer has definitely helped in this area. One thing I have learned on this journey is that God's timetable is far different than mine. His work of transformation in me is slow, but it is sure. I am so ready to move on in this spiritual quest, and yet here I am. If my past life has taught me anything, it has taught me that I must wait. Not only must I wait, He desires that I should be happy in that waiting. "I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in his word I hope; my soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen for the morning, more than watchmen for the morning." And surely he will come!
Adam
