Waiting can be a good thing or annoying. It seems I spend a lot of time waiting these days. With football season, there are practices and games. Of course the team is required to be there earlier than the game.
After one of Noah’s recent football practices, I spent the evening with him in the emergency room. His arm was very swollen and looked like he could’ve had a fracture. More waiting involved.
Since it seems I am doing a lot of waiting, I decided to start carrying a book with me. I made it through 127 pages of The Big idea while Noah was asleep in the emergency room and we were waiting.
It is easy to get annoyed when waiting, but I am trying to learn to make every moment count. Using each moment to learn and not become stressed or iritated.
Noah’s arm was not broken just a huge contusion. Of course it didn’t stop him from making 13 tackles on Saturday!
Small world. I have a Noah, too.
Patience is something I have to gear up for…like before I go to the doctor’s office, grocery store or have a cup of coffee with someone who might need a little extra grace

i’ve learned that same lesson here in africa, where waiting is an everyday occurrence. we joke about needing to “hurry up and wait”. i try to use that time to read and write; it helps keep me from getting frustrated!

[sigh] yes, it seems as If I’m always wanting for something. I’ve become a very patient person in the midst of all my waiting.
