hard because the promises have not worn out,
and I am trying to find the thrill I once felt
from the guarantees you gave me
and not give into to boredom.
I am trying unsuccessfully.
Blah, blah, blah,
I say.
And so what?
I can't do this anymore.
What's the point?
And all the bored,
tired questions
make it extremely hard to see clearly.
This part of anticipation is long
and the promises have not worn out,
right?

"All these people were still living by faith when they died. They did not receive the things promised; they only saw them and welcomed them from a distance. And they admitted that they were aliens and strangers on earth. [...] they were longing for a better country -- a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them."
I appreciate your candid authenticity regarding waiting--a large part of the Christian life. Great blog Alyssa. Keep it up!
Tap, My question of faith is: how do I fill the time while I am welcoming and still longing for the things promised? I want to know these people of faith I have always heard about. Where is this quote from?
Whyit...I'm glad you made it here--just like the good old, philosophizing days in 5a9.
