Description
The little girl with pearl earring looks curiously behind her as the mothers stand in line at the Clinic of Help for Nicaragua in Santa Lastenias, Central America. The little girls wear their fluffy party dresses, even though threadbare. The mothers wear mostly jeans or jean skirts. I was fascinated by the textures and contrasts. The day was a dreary overcast day in rainy season. I wrote the following poem..................................................TIMES OF WAITING
Jesus speaks to my heart:
When you wait upon Me and listen
I open up the fountains of heaven
and pour down all that you need
to fulfill those dreams that I�ve given.
Like Daniel who waited twenty-one days
for the angel to wing his answer
so you have times of waiting
when it seems like nothing is happening,
like the skies are brass, and crass
unfeeling, uncaring, unrelenting.
Then comes the light-hearted answer
like sunflowers falling from heaven, with snowflakes.
Lift up your heart in expectation that the answer is soon coming; after the struggle and effort, the vindication
there is rest and refreshing.
Some things are done just between Me and you,
in the secret place, in the garden of quiet,
where in the stillness there is healing,
and wisdom has room to grow.
Then there is time for the out-pouring,
for a deluge of grace to fall,
and rain on all around you
even on those you will never meet.
It has happened over and over, it is My plan, My design,
and the way I keep you humble,
because you have to depend on Me
at every step, all the time.
Where there is adulation for you, I get the glory,
because you have already moved on
to another chapter of the story!

�I sought the Lord and He heard me, and delivered
me from all my fears.� Psalm 34:4
