Wait For It…

One of the hardest parts of being a writer is waiting. Rejections are a close second. Waiting is far more difficult than the “not for us” responses, at least it is for me, because waiting brings with it the unknown. For a person who suffers with anxiety, the unknown is our arch nemesis, our antagonist, or ultimate villain, if you will.

I’ve had an achingly long season of wait, and I struggle to see an end to it. At times, I feel angry at God because I don’t understand the purpose of the wait. I can’t comprehend giving someone a purpose and then pushing pause on the action. Today, I realize it’s not up to me to have the answers. It’s up to me to write the words, share the feelings, and express the pain that people bottle up inside. What God does with the story is up to Him. I’m just here to write it.
