(Exodus 33:12-16) "₁₂ Moses said to the LORD, "You have been telling me, 'Lead these people,' but you have not let me know whom you will send with me. You have said, 'I know you by name and you have found favor with me.' ₁₃ If you are pleased with me, teach me your ways so I may know you and continue to find favor with you. Remember that this nation is your people."
₁₄ The LORD replied, "My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest." ₁₅ Then Moses said to him, "If your Presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here. ₁₆ How will anyone know that you are pleased with me and with your people unless you go with us? What else will distinguish me and your people from all the other people on the face of the earth?"

 "Experience has taught me that the Shepherd is far more willing to show His sheep the path than the sheep are to follow. He is endlessly merciful, patient, tender, and loving. If we, His stupid and wayward sheep, really want to be led, we will without fail be led. Of that I am sure." - Elisabeth Elliot

 "What Do You Have? If the only thing you have is a broken heart, you offer a broken heart. So in a time of grief, the recognition that this is material for sacrifice has been a great strength for me. Realizing that nothing I have, nothing I am will be refused on the part of Christ, I simply give it to him as the little boy gave Jesus his five loaves and two fishes—with the same feeling as the disciples when they said, “What good is that for such a crowd?” The point is, the use He makes of it is His blessing." – Elisabeth Elliot

"Woman, how divine your mission
Here upon our natal sod!
Keep, oh, keep the young heart open
Always to the breath of God!"

 John 20:24-28 Now Thomas (called Didymus), one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came So the other disciples told him, "We have seen the Lord But he said to them, "Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe it." A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, "Peace be with you!" Then he said to Thomas, "Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe." Thomas said to him, "My Lord and my God"

^{Mark 4:35-41} ₃₅ That day when evening came, he said to his disciples, "Let us go over to the other side." ₃₆Leaving the crowd behind, they took him along, just as he was, in the boat. There were also other boats with him. _³⁷ A furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat, so that it was nearly swamped. ₃₈ Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke him and said to him, "Teacher, don't you care if we drown?" ₃₉ He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, "Quiet! Be still!" Then the wind died down and it was completely calm.₄₀ He said to his disciples, "Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?" ₄₁ They were terrified and asked each other, "Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!"

I am hoping to share some of the blog entries from Christian Military Wives over here on this blog.

I plan on sharing what I am learning in BSF each week, and what is going on in the home of a professional "wait-er."

I do wait.

I don't always wait patiently.

I don't always wait for the right reasons.

I want to abide in Christ.

I want to know more about what that means, exactly.

So, welcome to "She who waits..."
