Waiting

Waiting seems like a formidable enemy these days. Lynnie is due to have our new baby girl any day now; we are so anxious to meet her. This weekend is opening day of deer season in New York, and Chris can hardly contain himself. The same need for patience seems to pervade our ministry progress at this point. While we are slowly working on developing partners, it is challenging to really pour ourselves into this area until Chris has finished out the school year. 

Meanwhile, it feels like our teaching ministry at Carachipampa Christian School is calling to us, "Hurry up and get over here, we need long-term teachers NOW"; however, there is a lot of work that must be done before we are ready to board the plane (target date Jan 2015).

 
Waiting is quickly becoming a way of life for us.  For Lynnie and I (and probably many others reading this), we like to get the job done as efficiently as possible so that we can move onto the next thing.  While that philosophy is often a good thing, God is using this waiting stage in our lives to teach us the importance of the process.  We need to bring God glory by focusing on how we do each of these things, not just how quickly they get done.
