Thanks to everybody who has entered this month's painting giveaway!
This week, I've had lots of conversations with a precious friend who's waiting for answers. Her wait happens to be in regard to where her family will be living after this summer, but we all know what it's like to spend time in the waiting room. Hearing the angst in her voice reminded me of the countless times the Lord seems to whisper to my anxious soul, "Debbie, wait right where you are..."
Four things I've learned about "waiting room days" are that they. . .
- precede His provision of clear direction for what's next.
- present a time to choose to cling to Him in faithful trust.
- provide a place to linger before launching out.
- prepare us to see God act on our behalf.

saiah 64:4 From of old no one has heard or perceived by the ear, no eye has seen a God besides you, who acts for those who wait for him. The Pondering Palette: What's been going on in your waiting room lately? Which of the four bullet point items above are you needing most in your waiting room today?
