And So We Wait... Again.

Well, we have officially submitted our COP paperwork to Bethany Grand Rapids, and it has been accepted. As stated in the last posting, we have no idea of knowing any sort of timeframe for this next phase. Part of me suspects that we'll never really be ready for that phone call - No matter when it comes, our lives will immediately be placed upon that turbulent path we've become so familiar with. The other part of me thinks that we've never been more ready for that phone call - No matter when it comes, our lives will immediately be placed upon that wonderful path that we've waited for for so long. It's kind of like my best friend Dan - he has a turbulent, yet wonderful path ahead of him. Will he ever really be ready for what lies ahead? Who knows. In the words of Switchfoot - "Don't close your eyes... This is your life... Is it everything you dreamed that it would be...?

One thing's always for sure - And so we wait... again. Kind of like watching water boil. Or watching the sundial, waiting for the shadow to creep to the hour you've been dreaming of. But now we wait with more hope than we've felt in a long time, and it feels nice for a change.

"In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps." Proverbs 16:9 (NIV)

I think I'll give up planning and just take His steps.
