Scripture: Mark 5:24b-34.

The Bible says a lot of good things about waiting ("For those who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength..." says Isaiah 40:31), but it doesn't give us much direction about how to wait. This podcast does some reflection on the importance of waiting when we're in transition, but also some thoughts about how we can be active waiters.
