New Name

I don't know how many people would notice, but I changed the name of my blog to reflect the state of life I am in. It is missing the accents, but it is a Hebrew word and part of the definition is right underneath. I am in a waiting phase.

As I have been reading and doing a tad of studying about waiting, I have come to conclude that waiting has many different looks. Sometimes waiting is being quiet, sitting by yourself in a room away from all distractions and waiting to hear God's voice. Other times I believe that it is a time of preparation. Look at the parable of the virgins in Luke. They were waiting for the bridegroom to appear and some were preparing for his arrival and others "checked out" and took a nap.

As I spoke with a friend today, we were speaking of times of transition and both felt like right now (where we are), is a time of transition for many people, most definitely for me. In this time God is positioning his people for what he has in store. We however, have a choice: we can prepare ourselves for whatever we've been positioned for(even if we don't know what that is), or we can sit back and check out. I think I will wait and prepare.
