Waiting on the Lord

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

I recently have been thinking a lot about this. I've been very intentionally waiting on the Lord. Not the style of waiting that a pedestrian does. Not like coming to a busy intersection with a crosswalk button, but just sitting back and waiting for traffic to clear, that's not the style waiting I've been doing. I've been doing the desperate-toddler-style. When Mom is in the bathroom with the door shut. My toddler "waits" at the door. He bangs his fists and cries, "Mom! MOOOOOM! MOOOOOOMMMMMY!" Then he lies flat on his belly and tries to wiggle himself under the door. He puts his little fingers under as far as he can, trying to get close. He profusely begs with tears and howls. Toddler style. That's how I've been waiting on the Lord. And He heard my cry!
