Journey to get Beyond the Wait

For awhile now, I’ve let my lack of what to call this blog stop me from making it.  I got caught up in the name.  Well, that and the fact that I have not been sure that I want to share things that I am feeling and thinking with the world (or the dozen or so that might read this!)  Tonight, as He has on numerous occasions, God gave me a couple of thoughts and experiences that I needed to write down, that I feel I need to share.  "Really Lord, you really want me to write about some of my innermost thoughts and put them in a place where anyone can read them?"

You know how sometimes, you can have a burden for something or someone and it goes away after you pray about it or you forget about it, but then there are other times when the burden only grows or you think about it even more?  In my life, I have come to know this as God asking me to do more.  So, this is the beginning of my attempts to share with you (whoever “you” might be) a little of what God is teaching me and the journey He has me on, the journey to love and be loved by Him, the journey to know and be known by Him, the journey to make Him known.  The journey that someday I want to “end” (really truly only begin!) hearing the words, “well done, my good and faithful servant”.   

My journey has involved a lot of waiting, yours probably has too, but I have been, and am being, challenged to keep my eyes on Jesus and remember what is Beyond the Wait.

I write not because I think my life is so interesting, but because I feel burdened to share.  Burdened to let those who struggle through infertility know they are not alone, burdened to do and say more for the millions of children around the world waiting for a mommy and daddy, burdened to have a voice for adoption and a place to share what God is teaching me about Himself.  So if you will, join me on my journey to Him, my journey to get Beyond the Wait.
