limbo-ville

has God ever had you in a place named limbo-ville?

a place where you knew you weren't going to be forever, and yet you didn't know when you would get to the next place? or even what that next place would be?

a place where you could vaguely picture what the next phase in life would be like, but sometimes it seemed that the next phase would never really happen?

a place where you get so excited about, and yet you cannot get there any faster because you. are. not. in. control.?



we are in that place. we have been in that place for what seems like forever. we are trying to rest in this place. to be fully present in the place God has us today. to not wish today away in the hopes of a tomorrow that looks different.

i have failed to do this resting thing well, to do this waiting thing well. God, forgive me. please meet us where we are this morning and help us rest in this place.

this place called limbo-ville.

ps: the picture in this post has absolutely nothing to do with anything. but he looks cute. and if i really wanted to stretch it into something meaningful, i would say that our two year old is illustrating our life at the moment: we are not at all where we thought we would be, but we are trying to make the best of it.
