How do we wait for God? We wait with patience. But patience does not mean passivity. Waiting patiently is not like waiting for the bus to come, the rain to stop, or the sun to rise. It is an active waiting in which we live the present moment to the full in order to find there the signs of the One we are waiting for.

No wifi here and have to pay for internet at the public computer so all my lovely journal entries and photos I want to upload will have to wait. Love you all, hope you’re well, will try to check back in soon.

YAY OBAMA!
