Waiting

by Joe Waller

"Dare to pick up this book and be prepared, as the poem 'Steady' calls you to do, to 'still your heart and bend your knee.' There is love for the Lord found in these lines, and it is refreshing." - Marilyn Stewart, award-winning feature writer, journalist and editorWhile the world responded to a global pandemic as well as to tensions and divisions among image bearers near and far, I, like many of you, learned to walk with the Lord while feeling isolated and distant from others. I was also walking through a season of confusion and pain on a personal level. In the last year and a half, I’ve felt more tension, more disorientation, more distance, more hurt, more shame, and more fear than I can ever remember feeling before now. But the Lord’s been faithful through it all, giving mercy for my missteps and grace sufficient for the day. I’m not where I want to be, but I’m learning to listen, learning to wait, and learning to walk by faith. These poems reflect a bit of that journey. - From the Preface
