The Waiting Process Begins
I signed a contract with a publisher yesterday, and now wait for the actual publishing. Hard to believe this whole thing is real. None of us are fans of waiting - we want what we want when we want it, and that’s usually right now! And it seems like our whole nation is in this “waiting room” at this point: waiting on the election, waiting on the financial bail-out plan, waiting to see if the Cubs will break their 100-year drought! Obviously God has a plan and purpose for our waiting.
I’m reminded of a story I read a long time ago about a little boy in the waiting room - waiting to see the Doctor. He examined everything in the room, including the bathroom - then announced to his mom that he was done, and ready to go. “But you haven’t seen the Doctor yet - and that’s why we’re here!” Many, many times I have announced “I’m done” - but the purpose of the wait has not yet been realized.
So - I wait. This wait no doubt has a purpose: there’s a book a-comin’! Then I’ll wait, I’m sure, for the buyers to come running. But ultimately, my wait is to see if the message of this book will hit home with those who read it, and get the true meaning.
In the meantime, I’ll wait to hear from any of you who might want to know more!
