I wish I could tell you that waiting is easy. But it’s not. There are moments of darkness and despair that are all-encompassing. But the light will shine through again. There are moments of pain and suffering that seem unbearable. But you can make it. There are times when it appears that the trial of your waiting will continue on forever. But it won’t. I promise.
In the meantime, my purpose in writing this blog is to provide you with hope and insight as you enter those times of darkness, despair, pain, suffering, and facing what feels like a never-ending trial. In the most difficult moments of my own waiting period, there were days that I didn’t think I could take one more step, and then God would provide some amazing encouragement on the internet, through a song on the way to work, in a devotional that just captured exactly what I was feeling, or through a family member or friend’s words of encouragement. Those moments of light gave me that little bit of hope I needed to keep pressing on. My prayer is that you too will experience those moments of light in your darkness, and keep pressing on one more day until your waiting is over.
