room with a ceiling, walls, and chairs! Our team members prayed with
specificity and urgency that this need would be met.

In my personal life, I had been enduring a long season of surrender and
trust, worrying and waiting. As we were flying home, I paused to reflect
on what I had learned from these Honduran brothers and sisters in
Christ. Waiting has tested their character and strengthened their faith.
They accept sacred waiting as a way of life and choose to pray rather than
to complain. This is a beautiful form of worship to witness and a worthy
one to emulate.

God answered our collective prayers and my personal petition. A gener-
ous donor provided funds to build a waiting room and devoted Christian
friends continue to surround me in a circle of love.

Bendigas (Blessings)!

Prayer: During this Advent season, remind all of us who are waiting with
anticipation for You to act that You can do more than we can ask or im-
agine.
