Everything was in place for a new venture, and I was ready to begin, but nothing happened. I lost confidence, thinking maybe it was a message that I should give up and try something else. How long should I keep trying? It's embarrassing to share an intention with people, only to have it land on the discard pile. And why does so much trial and error end up as "error"? But the message I feel in my heart, and hear in the voices of my trusted friends is not to give up but to "wait", with the comforting words that "help may already be on the way".*
* "Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed." (Proverbs 15:22 NIV)
