Waiting 101

A friend of mine, who blogs here, asked whether I was blogging more because the last time he looked at my blog, I discussed the sad state of the University of Oklahoma football program. While that was a year ago, and OU played much better in their last bowl game, I really didn't have much to discuss. Yet, here I am.

As I posted earlier, I've been enrolled in "Waiting 101" for a long time. It feels like I'll never graduate from this class. Yet, lately, I've learned to enjoy this process. I've been learning about this process of waiting is both passive and active.

I am also learning about the joy of obedience. I picked up a copy of Thomas Kelly's book Testament to Devotion. As I read it, I am consumed by an overwhelming sense of guilt for not being as obedient as I should. Yet, as Kelly encourages his readers to not be deterred from obedience. I am motivated to be tenacious in my obedience.

So, Reader, won't you pray with me as I journey in obedience?
