waiting

Steadfastness, that is holding on;
patience, that is holding back;
expectancy, that is holding the face up;
obedience, that is holding one's self in readiness to go or to do;
listening, that is holding quiet and still as to hear.

SD Gordon, on waiting, from Quiet Talks on Prayer,
quoted by Elizabeth Elliot in Passion and Purity.

To wait requires faith, with eyes not only looking towards the future,
but heavenwards, towards the face of God.

another blog, another day.

may blog na uli ako!

Can't help but envy those people who have regularly updated blogs. Anne Frank said that "paper is more patient than man", referring to her diary. I think she meant that her paperbound diary was a more patient listener than a person.

Well, I hope my blog would be more patient than habitual procrastinators like me.
