{waiting} now.

Hi there.

Is this seat taken?

Mind if I sit?

Thanks.

Nice waiting room.

Good magazines.

You're right, that does make a difference.

It's good to see the sun today.

Yeah,

it does help when it's a sunny day.

So, you?

What are you waiting for?

To feel better?

For the next chapter?

To heal?

For something

~anything~

to happen?

Yep, me too.

There's a lot we don't understand, isn't there?

Sitting here waiting can feel maddening.

And frustrating.

And sometimes you just want to... 

Tissues? Yes, I have some here in my bag.

Here you go.

Oh please, don't apologize for your tears.

In fact, please don't apologize for your tears ever again.

Ever.

There are bigger things on your plate right now

to be concerned about. 

Tears are simply an overflow.

Jesus cried.

Why wouldn't you need to now and again?

It's okay to be honest here.

We're all waiting for something.

No need to pretend that everything's alright when it's not.

No need to choke back words

that should be said anyhow.

Just be you. 

Listen...I have time.

I'll wait with you. 

Will you wait with me?

Thanks.

Many blessings,

Deni

Behold, I will do something new, 

Now it will spring forth; 

Will you not be aware of it? 

I will even make a roadway in the wilderness, 

Rivers in the desert.

~Isaiah 43:19
