Time in a Bottle
If time really were in a bottle, I'd pour it out right now. This waiting is killing me. I'm no good at it.
About 4 weeks ago, I requested departure clearance. Since that time, I've checked and double checked to make sure that all requirements have been met (they have been). I've prayed to get the clearance quickly; I've begged and pleaded with God. I've sat on my hands and tried to be patient. I'm not that good at being patient.
I cannot buy my ticket for Lusaka until I get official clearance. I understand why that's important. It's no good to run off half-cocked. But in the mean time, I'm watching ticket prices go up. I'm unable to make plans for commissioning services and going-away parties.
Everyone keeps telling me that it's all in God's time. I know that. And I know that His timing is perfect. That doesn't actually make the waiting any easier. Have I mentioned I'm not very good at that?
