the irony of waiting

On Facebook last week, I shared this photo below that a friend had posted, along with my thoughts on it. After I posted it, I got to thinking that even though it wasn't directly design-related, I'd like to share it here too. I've been struggling to figure out what to blog about in general, and after writing this, I thought, maybe I'll just post whatever makes sense to me, and go from there :) 

My friend shared this verse with it as well, "Wait on the Lord, be of good courage, and He will strengthen your heart. Wait, I say, on the Lord." Psalm 27:14 

I first "got" this verse when I was living away, on my own for the first time in Orlando ('96---ahhh! really?!? crazy time flying.) It's been a constant source of encouragement to me ever since. I also really like these thoughts on the photo too, on a "waiting" perspective. I think we all go through seasons of waiting for something (usually many things), and in my own life, when I look back and even now, I agree that the waiting isn't or doesn't have to be bad; it's essential. And can be really beautiful.

Periods of waiting have made me who I am and have enriched my life. And I'm good with that. Personally. 

This website is actually a product of waiting. I've been dreaming of it for years now; and it actually had a different name for years before it was fully developed. Just last year, the name had to change, and I began yet another cycle of waiting, as I prayed about what the new name would be.

And that post will come eventually :)
