Boy...would I ever.<BR/><BR/>I'm not one to sit idle for long. I inherited my mother's work-a-holic nature (and I don't think that's healthy, btw).<BR/><BR/>But in this case, for me and my wife, we are betting our whole lives and existence that we truly heard the CEO of the Universe tell us to wait. And we are trying to be obedient with that. <BR/><BR/>We have heard the instruction <I>wait</I> more than once in the past 3 years. We know the promises on our life, both in ministry and livelyhood in general.<BR/><BR/>Thus far, the testimonies are there: we are not wards of the state. We do not live off our parents, friends, etc. We do not have a hidden bank acct or stock portfolio. Every need, both financial and physical, has been met by the CEO. And in times of doubt and whining (like I did in this post), all I have to go by are these testimonies too numerous to list.<BR/><BR/>The israelites wandered for 40 years in the wilderness before they saw the promises fulfilled. Right now, I'm thankful I've only been waiting 3.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your input. I need the tough questions asked...even if you are anonymous ;)Agent Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03722186597399802204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15875799.post-1143740628796102802006-03-30T11:43:00.000-06:002006-03-30T11:43:00.000-06:00BrainWater:Considering that I am an "anonymous jac...BrainWater:<BR/><BR/>Considering that I am an "anonymous jackass" and all (ie: not man enough to step forward), I still think that "waiting" is the flip side of the coin to reckless ambition. Not implying that it is laziness at all, just a refuge word for the intimidated.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15875799.post-1143739492662373672006-03-30T11:24:00.000-06:002006-03-30T11:24:00.000-06:00...ie: waiting is physical activity that can be ex......ie: waiting is physical activity that can be extremely tiring...Agent Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03722186597399802204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15875799.post-1143739418618716602006-03-30T11:23:00.000-06:002006-03-30T11:23:00.000-06:00BW -You are correct.I didn't communicate that very...BW -<BR/><BR/>You are correct.I didn't communicate that very clearly...<BR/><BR/>For the last 3 years I've felt like I'm in 'spiritual bootcamp' for ministry and life with the poor. I "ministered to" them for 3.5 years from the "other side of the counter".<BR/><BR/>Now...I'm with them on their side of the counter.<BR/><BR/>And just when we've learned to live without...more gets taken away, or so it seems.<BR/><BR/>So fo me, waiting has been a test of physical strength endurance of sorts.<BR/><BR/>Make sense? (It still makes little sense to me).Agent Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03722186597399802204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15875799.post-1143737526842030082006-03-30T10:52:00.000-06:002006-03-30T10:52:00.000-06:00BrainWater here,guess i don't understand why waiti...BrainWater here,<BR/><BR/>guess i don't understand why waiting is considered "doing something."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15875799.post-1143723024636292852006-03-30T06:50:00.000-06:002006-03-30T06:50:00.000-06:005.
