The Blessing Hidden in the Waiting

DID YOU KNOW Did You Know that Waiting Can Be Worship? (Psalm 5:3) We tend to think of waiting as a pause—a delay between what we want and what we’ll receive. But Scripture paints waiting as an act of worship. Psalm 5:3 says, “In the morning, Lord, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait expectantly.” The Hebrew root for wait carries the sense of watching with…

Saturday Soliloquy: Learning to Wait

Saturday Soliloquy: Learning to Wait

A couple of months ago, when I turned 75, someone asked me what I’ve learned along the way. My first thought was, “I’ve learned not to tell people what I’ve learned” 🙂 But the question was asked sincerely, and I told the person I’d have to think about that. My thinking was that I’ve learned a whole lot of stuff, but she was looking for some gem of wisdom and not an encyclopedia of random…

Tarot can be a powerful tool to help explore liminality - waiting with discomfort, managing anxiety, trusting the process.

"Some people are easier ‘waiters’ than others, with those who have been traumatised by repetitive neglect and/or sudden unexpected endings often finding it particularly difficult to trust that a right time for action will emerge.

There is a strong tendency to want to push the pace and set an agenda. Understanding that this practice already has an agenda of staying with uncertainty, tolerating anxiety and remaining open to possibility can be hard to bear.” -  Sally Denham-Vaughan
