to wait....

A man's strength is in action. In love he pursues her. A woman's strength is at rest. In love she waits for him.

Ok, wait a minute. Wait? Now how hard is that especially for a woman. So I studied wait. Love my favorite dinosaur, Thesaurus, for these little treks.

wait ≈
  • stay, remain, linger, tarry, abide
  • continue, reside, keep on
  • persevere with, persist in, carry on, soldier with
  • expect, look for
  • serve, attend

  • These words are verbs which really mean they are action words. When made to wait especially in a relationship, it is the hardest kind of action to do. It feels like inaction. Feels like standing still. Relationships to women are fluid. A nice soft ebb and flows feels right. My heart will rest easier if I use the meater words for wait. They feel more like action.

    Well, if this woman is going to wait, she is going to wait in a beautiful place like 'a quiet english garden' or 'in a cove' to watch the surf meet the sand. Her way of surrounding herself in beauty and tending to beauty.

    Wait is really being at rest. Contented with yourself... Contented in who God created you to be. Being enough..... Delighting & savoring...
