Anticipation

Many of you no doubt remember the old Carly Simon song, Anticipation. I like that song. I remember the anticipation as our family looked forward last year to going to Disney World. You know the anticipation of Christmas morning. Sometimes the anticipation is almost as good as the event itself. Almost!
In my case, the anticipation of test results from my hospital stay this past weekend isn’t quite the same as looking forward to Disney World. But I can say this week has been a week of good things. Times of rest, times with my family, times of reflection and the verse one of my children reminded me of while I was in the hospital has become more real to me than ever. No wonder it’s my favorite verse in the Bible.
Isaiah 40:31 “They that wait on the Lord will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings as eagles. They will run and not be weary. They will walk and not faint.”
The anticipation of test results due tomorrow aren’t daunting at all. I have this perfect peace that is not easy to explain other than to say, when you know in who’s arms you rest, you can wait it out and know He has been there before you and already has it all figured out.
