Waiting

I am so tired of waiting. I am waiting for results from a pap I had, waiting for results from a mammagram I had this morning, and most important, waiting to hear about my mom's radiation treatments that begin this afternoon. It seems that lately, a big portion of my life has been "waiting to hear" and I am, quite frankly, tired of it.

In Bible Study last week, our leader said that faith and fear cannot live together. I confess to you, my dear soul sisters, that my fear has been stronger than my faith. So what can I do to turn this around? One thing that I'm committing to doing is that everytime my gut clenches with that little tinge I know as fear is to repeat to myself that my faith IS stronger than my fear. And when I get that anxiety that makes my heart rush a little faster, I will shoot off a bullet prayer to God asking Him to give me peace.

And when I'm up in the air on Friday and feel a bit of panic, I will picture myself sitting on God's lap with His hand on mine.

What do you all do to combat the "waiting game"?
