A timeless cry from deep within.
The ancients, the moderns, the traditionalists, the emergents,
The 99%, and even I, myself, as I lean into my pastoral call
"How long, O Lord?"
I am in a long season of waiting.
While I make myself useful in serving here and there
I have been waiting patiently for the acceptance and
approval of the application for authorization of an
aspiring entrepreneur to commence offering
Hospice services.
Since January....
Ministry Midwifing can be tediously boring;
nearly draining all reserves of patience and hope.
Every day requires revisiting the confident words of the applicant,
"We aren't looking for anyone else. You are our chaplain."
Just in case you have been wondering with me
"How long, O Lord.?"
I am told we are progressing, moving closer to the goal.
"Soon."
to which i think to myself... wasn't that among the famous quotes of Jesus?
