Everything seems to be a waiting game lately.
Waiting for decisions to be made.
Waiting for my mind to change.
Waiting for you to come home.
Waiting for the next day.
And the next.
The next.
What's next?

Hard Way Home
I read Psalm 31 this morning between rushes at the shop. I can't remember if it's the exact one that Dave referenced in his talk Sunday night, but it was a comfort regardless. I had been so down on myself again after what transpired yesterday. And then came the realization that I shouldn't take it that way. This "battle", if you will, does not change how God feels about me, does not change how I feel about God. If anything, I think this will strengthen our relationship, though it will take a whole heck of a lot of trust and patience.
Nor do I think it will necessarily change their relationship with God. I don't know at this point what this will all change, but I think it will be worth it. Probably in ways I can not even name or think of at this point.
And they are not my enemy. We are working through this together. We just don't understand each other fully.
I just need to focus on staying positive, getting back to where I was. Reclaim the sense of peace that only the Holy Spirit is providing me with the knowledge that it's out of my hands.
"Into your hands I commit my spirit; redeem me, O Lord, the God of truth."
