I have SO many questions at the moment. Something needs to change in my situation but I'm not entirely sure what it is. I'm waiting for God to do someTHING, someTIME, but what? When? All I know is that something inside says "something isn't right" and "there is more" but what am I waiting for and when will it happen?
Know the feeling?
Seems God's people are world leaders in waiting. Just flick through the Psalms:
I am still confident of this
That I will see the goodness of the Lord
In the land of the living.
Be strong, take heart and WAIT for the Lord.
(Ps 27)
OK, Lord, I'm waiting. For you. For something to happen. Sometime ... I'm waiting. I'm looking at you to see what you will do. I'm waiting ...
P.S. One of the main Hebrew verbs for "to wait" also means "to hope" but that's another post!
P.P.S "Wait" and "Hope" together occur 55 times in the Psalms (a range of contexts but you get the idea!)

Oh Richard, one doesn't need to read between too many of your lines to find the life-bruises that are hurting at the moment.
But, waiting is a strangely good place to be.
I had a horrible 15 months in my last job at Northampton. and yet, it was a very special time as well, waiting on/for God just seems to be a place where He can find us and talk with us.
I do wish that it wasn't such a difficult place to be though.

WAIT on the Lord
= hope in the Lord
I like that
Great picture --- made me think a little.

Hello Richard,
I am mightily impressed by your .swf movies, namely BreakMeRemakeme1..swf and Matt11Web1.swf
May I use them on my website - "New Christian UK"?
http://www.newchristian.org.uk is the only UK website for the mentoring and nurture of new believers in Jesus. I get over 200 visitors a day, so your work would be widely viewed on my site.
If you agree, I can get the HTML from your pages where the .swf files reside, but would need the .swf files from you - if you approve my request. I would of course credit you and link back to your website.
