Still Waiting

I hope to write more extensively in the next few days, but let me say that we are still waiting on the Lord. Now, a lot of folks tend to think that means that we are waiting for God to do exactly what we have asked Him to do. That's not what "biblical waiting" is, though. To wait on the Lord is to trust God, and it usually is commanded for those in a hard spot - just simply trust Him. Oh, there is an expectation of God's work in our lives, but we do not always receive according to our desires. So, we wait. We trust. That's what we are doing.

The prayer time with the elders on Monday night was wonderful, intense, and powerful. We acknowledged ahead of time that God is sovereign and will act according to His will, but just as Moses stood in the gap for the people of Israel, the elders stood in the gap for Linda. We prayed for healing, believing with all our hearts that God is capable.

So far, God has not chosen to heal Linda. Our faith in Him has not wavered one iota. We are waiting on Him. Linda is certainly better than she was even a few weeks ago, but it would seem that healing would bring far greater improvement than we have seen, even if intense physical therapy would be required to get back to normal. We are not there, yet. So, we wait. And we continue to pray for a miracle. We ask you to continue to pray with us. Thanks, brothers and sisters, for your unbelievable persistent prayers and support.
