Waiting on God looks a lot like homework, chores and showing up for shifts until the door opens.

Nothing about a waiting season feels spiritual while you are in it. It mostly looks like Tuesday: assignments, dishes, a rota, a bus. That is not a gap before the real thing starts; it is the material you are given while the answer is still outstanding. People miss years looking past them.

Do the ordinary list this week as though it is the assignment, because for now it is. Finish the homework, take the shift, clear the kitchen. Then stop auditing whether your life has started yet.
