Waiting Again

I was thinking tonight about all of the waiting that we do in life. We wait in line at the store. We wait in traffic. We wait for the right person to come into our lives. We wait for the right time to make a certain move. We wait for all sorts of things, but I'm having a hard time waiting right now.
I'm waiting for something...anything...to happen with my PawPaw.

Eddie will attest to the fact that I am not a "sit and wait" kind of person. I am an on-the-go kind of person, doing something most of the time. So sitting around, waiting, is not my thing. I so want to jump right in and help him, but I feel helpless. I can hold his water while he drinks his one sip and I can help move him around in bed, but I can't fix it. I can't make him better and I feel helpless for that.

So tonight, here is my prayer:

I want a peace beyond my understand
I want to feel it fall like rain in the middle of my hurting
I want to feel Your arms as they surround me
And let me know that it's ok
To be here in this place
Resting in the peace that only comes in the waiting.
