It doesn't sound exciting does it? To begin waiting? We hate waiting. Waiting in lines. Waiting on children. Waiting on spouses. Waiting on money to come in. Waiting on God with an endless list of desires. Waiting. Usually we think of waiting as a drudgery. But this year, I'm excited about the waiting. I'm eager for this period of waiting to begin.
