{What do I wait for? My hope is in You!}

{Waiting}. That is a word to summarize 2012. Waiting on the Lord's timing. Direction. Confirmation. Answers.

Life is a big question mark right now- where should I live? Should I add on more classes? Where should I intern? Where should I work? What should I do after I graduate? When should I move out? Who should I room with? Should I start going to a Bible study? Which Bible study should I go to? What is my life plan? What should I be aiming for?

{Waiting}. A difficult virtue, but one that yields many rewards.

The one who waits on the Lord, is the one who experiences sweeter fellowship with Him...and the one He uses more fully. Look at King David, as an example.

With this thought in mind...here are some good verses I found on the {virtue} of waiting.

What do I wait for? My hope is in You!

Happy 2012!!!!!!
