Looking Up

Today's thought is all about waiting.  I feel like I spend a lot of my time playing the waiting game.  This time though, the waiting is all about the excitement and anticipation of what is ahead.  I'm allowing God to keep my focus on the expectation of what He is up to, rather than being caught in the muck of passing time.  This type of expectation is knowing that God is moving, not having an idea of what I think He is doing.  It keeps me from being disappointed when things don't go as I had planned.  Expectation of this kind helps me to keep my head up and watching for all of the different places that God is working out details of His plan.  I don't really know what any of them mean just yet, but He continues to give little gifts of hope in the midst of difficult discoveries.  It is a journey full of ups and downs, but walking with Jesus means there is hope even when you're in the valley...as long as you look up.  That's what I'm doing, looking up.
