Hold the Vision; Trust the Process

I am writing this on the Saturday before Easter.  In many faith traditions, this week is known as Holy Week-that time which begins with Palm Sunday and moves the story through Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter.  But, what about Saturday?  It always seems like an awkward pause in the progression toward the joy of Easter.  The rest of the days all have a rhythm and a focus.  An expectation.  But Saturday is different.  For some, it is a day of vigil.  But for many others, it is a day to change our focus back temporarily to the things of the world while we prepare for Easter dinner or fill Easter baskets or shop for our Easter bonnets.

 

This season of the year, at least here in New England, feels somewhat the same.  I am SO DONE with winter and yet spring hasn't quite arrived.  There are still too many snow mounds, the furnace is still running, the flowers are reluctant to risk peeking out of the dirt yet for fear that a late storm will dump snow on their fragile heads.

 

In so much of life, it is hard to wait.  It takes great courage and vision. When what we long to have happen seems just around the corner-just around the bend-and we have to hold on and wait, it can be frustrating and scary. Things can feel pregnant with imminent new birth, but we are stuck in the labor process.  I was three weeks past my due date with my first child and remember tearfully asking my doctor if anyone ever just stayed pregnant FOREVER!  (He assured me that no, all babies eventually do come out!)

 

I have a sign over my desk that says:  "Hold the Vision, Trust the Process".   But how do we do that when we are confronted on all sides by "evidence" that what we are waiting for might not happen?  When we have our hearts set on an outcome and a time frame, and it just doesn't seem to be happening as we hoped?

Life is an ever-cycling process of change.
