The message was clear on the screen, giving me two options.

This page is not responding. Wait or Exit Page.

It seems easy to Exit. To give up this task. To end this frustration.

But Samuel Rodriguez in his Christian Nonfiction book, "Fresh Oil, Holy Fire, New Wine" has this to say about the other not-so-popular option of waiting.

"Waiting by faith is especially agonizing since we can't see how God is working or know what His answers to our prayers might be. Over the years, though, I've learned that 'wait' and 'suddenly' are part of the same faith continuum" (pg. 110).

"Just because a door closes does not mean it can stop God from showing up. Because a closed door cannot stop a resurrected Jesus. No matter what door stands in your way, God is showing up for you" (pg. 116).

"Don't leave now! Do not quit. Don't decide to go before you see what God wants to do for you, what He wants to give you, how He wants to bless you. If you're tired of waiting, take heart. If you're afraid of what happens next, fear not. If you're disappointed by a closed door, just wait. The gift is worth the wait" (pg. 123).

If you need prayer for anything, let me know. I would love to pray for you.
