Is there something that you are waiting for?  What is it, and how long have you been waiting? Are you going through something difficult that doesn’t seem to end? I was in seminary for 8 years, and that seemed like a long time.  For the first 4-5 years it seemed like there was no endContinue reading “How long have you been waiting?”
