Expectancy.

Confession: Sometimes, when I can't sleep...I read Elisabeth Elliot for fun.

and she talks to me of loneliness lived.

of loneliness given

"Are you lonely?"

"Lonely? Why should I be?"

"You're single.

Most of the single people I know talk about being lonely."

"Oh, no.

You see, I have a sense of expectancy everyday.

What does the Lord want to do with me today?

I have no agenda of my own."

The heart which as no agenda but God's is the heart at leisure from itself. Its emptiness is filled with the Love of God. Its solitude can be turned into prayer." -E. Elliot
