how much longer?

"Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord." Psalm 27:14

46 days we waited...  in 1,104 hours, each hour of waiting seemed endless. How much longer, God, before You answer? 
Yet, God was answering with the wait.

The past 6 weeks have been trying with Daddy hospitalized at Duke enduring continuous difficult issues. How easy to think, do You care? Yet in the 66,240 minutes, God continually fed us ways to keep the faith. 

A quick healing fix was not His answer but doses of kindness sprinkled with hope.  His comfort came in unexpected relief in writing Monday devotions (a partnership opportunity developed 2 weeks prior to Daddy's issues), aid in meals and traveling expenses, a continuous staff of competent and attentive nurses and doctors, and unceasing prayers and assistance from family and friends.  Last week his nurse, Angel Grace, was yet another sweet reminder to keep believing God for the best. He was truly answering our needs with ministering angels spreading God's grace.

And then, it happened... day 47, a major breakthrough in our waiting.  After several complications and delays, Daddy's pacemaker was successfully put back in.  The wait isn't over, but He has renewed our strength. Going home is going to happen. 

God is always good, and His timing is always perfect.  Just you wait and see.

we are loved and chosen by God,
may we live like we believe it,
