GWEN, YOU SAY THAT "THE HAVING TO WAIT MAKES ME WONDER IF I'VE FAILED ALTOGETHER", WELL, THAT MAKES TWO OF US. AT FIRST, I BEGAN TO THINK THAT THINGS WERE MY FAULT, BUT SOON REALIZED THAT THIS IS SIMPLY ONE OF THE SCHEMES OF THE DEVIL- TO MAKE US FEEL THAT IT'LL NEVER COME TO PASS AND GIVE UP ON OUR DREAM.

This sums up how I have felt lately, as well. I was sharing a high point and a low point from my week with a group the other day and it went something like this: My low is I have no control over the things happening in my life right now, and my high? I'm not in control of my life. God is. He is definitely good, we just have to show a little patience at times, huh?

[...] last post was about waiting and preparing for what God has promised he will do but there’s a flip side to that which we mustn’t [...]

We are all waiting for the Second Coming of Christ right now. I think. I know I am. Anyways, I love that with the waiting comes preparation. I wonder what my reaction would be if Jesus came back right in the middle of Christmas Day. Would I be shocked? I mean, I have been preparing for Him, but have? I've been preparing for Baby Jesus, but have I been preparing for my Glorious King?

Sorry about the stream of consciousness comment. I haven't gotten a lot of sleep lately…

Peter,__Inigo Montoya said it best..."I hate waiting!" This year has been a challenge, I blog about it here:__http://soulfari.blogspot.com/2009/12/conspiracy-o... truth is that waiting on God is a good thing, not an easy thing but a good thing. Thanks for sharing!__Peace,__Jay

I have been so grateful for the focus on advent I've seen this year. A few weeks ago, I was considering that I should research it a little, try to make sense out of it, and here I've been overwhelmed by posts and thoughts from people who are pondering the "waiting," so near to me right now as I'm going in and out of prodromal labor with my own little boy coming. Your post doesn't surprise me or change anything I've been seeing – it's just one more beautiful confirmation of the way God works – in His time outside of time. I feel as though we're all sitting here looking back and remembering even as we look forward and groan together, "Even so Lord, come quickly…"

Peter, I celebrate Advent and wait 365 days a year. For Christ's Second Advent, that is.

Continual, unrelenting awareness of its proximity drives me.

Love this post, Peter! I'm reading Two from Galilee right now, and it's incredible to think of the suffering of God's people and how they longed for Messiah to come and rescue them (and so sad that most of them didn't/don't believe that it was Jesus!).

And believe me, your words hit home on a personal level too. God answered a couple prayers this week, and I'm ashamed to admit I had REALLY been doubting.
