Merging is a New Journey - The Wait

Old Directory Cover created by a former pastor

One of the hardest parts of a journey is the waiting.  You plan a journey or trip.  You make reservations somewhere.  Maybe you buy a plane ticket.  You have a plan in place for someone to get your mail while you are away, take care of the pets, check on your home, or other things like that.  Everything is in place.

And then comes the wait.

The waiting for the day to leave arrives.

The waiting to get on the plane.

The waiting to check into your room.

The waiting in traffic.

Because of this very different time in our lives, we have a new kind of waiting.

We made all sorts of plans.  The church has been cleaned out.  We know where things will be going.  Who is going to get chairs, tables, Bibles, hymnals, etc.  The date has been set for awhile now for us to close the church as a place of worship.

But now, we too, must wait more than we expected to wait.

There are many ways we may be waiting.  But through all those ways, we wait with the knowledge that God is the One who is ultimately in charge.

Maybe we are feeling a bit of frustration or fear or nervousness or anxiousness or confusion or relief.  Those are all valid feelings.  But know that God will guide us through it all.

Be safe and well and kind in these days of waiting.
