Waiting

I am waiting on a phone call

that will change my life.

I don't know what it will be like to be a working mom

and I am nervous about it,

but I am also assured from mighty prayer

that God is watching over me

and will strengthen me.

I was just thinking about how much I hate waiting.

I've never been too good at waiting.

Give me my future NOW dangit.

Don't make me wait.

And then instead of worrying about

whether or not the phone call is going to come,

I giggled some with Caroline,

and made her favorite treat.

A bottle of milk.

Yes, she is two and still gets a bottle.

Then I sat down to read some scripture online.

I need to do my dailies.

And what pops up?

LG's pandora radio.

I guess he made it happen automatically.

And waiting became an all new experience,

as I listened intently to LG's favorites.

I wondered how I can sing more like

Sarah McLachlan or Natalie Merchant.

And a broad smile conquers all

when I hear

Somewhere Over the Rainbow.

It is such a beautiful song.

And it played three times

while I was getting my root canal.

I imagined I was on the beach,

and made sure the dentist knew

that my husband hates that glitch in pandora.

Sometimes it plays the same songs over and over again.

The older I get, the better I get at waiting.

In fact, if you think about it,

all of the good things in my life

have happened while I was waiting on what's next.

Waiting is the best place to be.
