Today is Sunday (2/22/09). Its been a long while since I have written in this blog. The Lord has been saying "wait, wait, wait upon Me".

I'm not writing because of my gifts (sometimes I feel like my prophetic pen has turned into a pathetic pen), or my desire to do something. I am writing to talk about waiting, perhaps even complain about it... but I want to please the Lord, and when fresh manna is falling from the sky, why then, should I be ungrateful? My basic human needs are being met.

Many of you reading this may also sense what I feel. Huge struggles on many fronts - yet a sustaining inner power that serves to hold us in the center of the refiner's fire. Ahhh... transformation is easy, right?

God must need an extremely (inwardly) strong army soon. He has called me into a specific ministry, but won't let me engage myself in it - one has to wonder about this. I found myself questioning my motives, my purity, my heart's desires, my limitations. I keep arriving at the same conclusions... it's timing, only timing. This time, it's time to wait.

Soon God will point His finger at those of us who are waiting, and the work will begin. Am I ready? Are you ready? Ready for what? Hmmmm....

I stand with those who are waiting. I wait with you. We are being held back together for a great release of the Holy One - can we do it? Can we wait? What will God do? Why is He being so stealthy? How will we be utilized?

I hope this article resonates with someone else who needs understanding in this hour of waiting. I simply needed to call attention to it for reasons (or people) unknown to me.

Blessings!
