  Waiting is never easy. It confronts us with our impatience, our doubts, and the silence of God. Yet Scripture is full of stories where waiting was not wasted time, but sacred preparation for something greater. David waited twelve years before he became king. Joseph waited thirteen years before he ruled Egypt. Abraham waited twenty-five years for the promised son. Moses waited forty years in the desert. Noah waited one hundred and twenty years building an ark before the rain came. In the New Testament, we also find women who waited: the woman at the well, the woman who touched Jesus’ cloak, the woman caught in adultery, and Mary and Martha. Each of them experienced that God’s timing is never late. What Happens in the Waiting Waiting is never passive. Before leading, Moses learned to depend on God .

What really struck me is that, at the very beginning, the book gives us a glimpse of what’s about to happen in Job’s life. That introduction prepares us for the storm that’s coming. But in our own lives, we don’t get that kind of preamble. We wake up one day, and suddenly life looks nothing like what we thought it would. How much easier would it be if we knew what God was doing behind the scenes? Instead, we have to learn to trust that He is present, both in joy and in heartbreak. For a long time, I thought that if I did everything “right,” things would naturally fall into place. Move to a new country, get married, build a home, have children—that was the dream. But divorce...

Make a loop on your yarn a few inches from the end. Insert your hook through the loop and grab the yarn end connected to the skein. Pull the strand through the loop, then tighten the knot. ·           YARN OVER (Y0) Wrap the yarn around your hook from back to front. ·           CHAIN (CH) Make a slipknot first (unless you are in the middle of a piece and already have a loop on your hook). YO and pull yarn through the loop on hook. Repeat as many times as required. The loop on the hook doesn't count as chain, so omit it if you are checking the stitch count. ·           WORKING INTO A CHAIN Usually, you must skip the ch n...
