Advent – part 1
Advent is a time for waiting.
Waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting.
I know Advent is a time of anticipation for the coming Messiah, for waiting. I get it. God, I finally get it.
Since one of my goals is to read through Isaiah by Christmas, I’m going to try to blog through the prophecies of the Coming, focusing on Advent and waiting. I want to channel the feelings of the Israelites. I want to know what it’s like to wait for the LORD. But I also want to know what it’s like to see Him arrive after months and months and years of waiting. That — that will be glorious.
Oh, I’m having a rough Day 23.
I miss him. I miss being someone’s girl. I miss having someone to cry on; I miss smelling his cologne.
These are silly things, I know. I have wonderful friends and family who let me cry and smell them (ha!).
But it’s not the same. Oh, God. It’s not the same. It’s not the same.
So, in my weakness, in my heartache, I’m going to follow the Hebrews in this journey. Messiah, I need you now more than ever.
