So happy to ring in the new year with this sitting in my inbox. I was missing your voice but I’m glad of everywhere else it’s been singing.

Thank you.

So much good that it will take me some time to unpack it.

Oh, yes, yes, the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.

Your words are wise and beautiful, as always. Being with you all in Nashville was a wonderful gift.

I will have to read this essay again and again to truly grasp it all. I love you and your sweet family. Thank you for inspiring me to be more able to wait with grace and trust and faith.

Waiting with patience and receiving with grace are lessons to be learned and practiced year by year, month by month, week by week, day by day, hour by hour and minute by minute. Sometimes it's easy but often times hard because I am human. And I praise God for that very thing and for his patience while I try to learn the lessons He has sent to me. Sometimes my lessons are the same as other people's and sometimes my lessons are different. I have to remind myself that His lessons come in His timing. So I practice patience. Again and again. As I wait. As I pray. And wait some more. Because I know His lessons always have blessings too.

Thank you Jennifer.
