anyway, your entry was quite the read! i actually liked this entry being all about waiting, and not expecting.
to tell you the truth though, waiting for something that is not even certain will be aggravating. so sometimes, all we have left is hope, and that's not really a bad thing, but with hope there's also going to be the expecting part coinciding with it. so its really up to us on how we'll deal with the waiting part, cause its either through hoping, or expecting.
but i guess patience is really the key here, since the end product of waiting is probably more gratifying than that of what we were hoping or expecting. plus, God wouldn't really let us wait for nothing, since He has plans for us ans is just waiting for the right time.
