A Season of Waiting

Annunication, Arcabas

Lisa Danner talks about the season of Advent as a time to create space for waiting. She highlights that people seem to have a propensity to get distracted from things that matter and invites us to analyze what pressures, mindsets, or stressors might be let go in order for us to have experiences of wonder.

Questions for consideration:

  1. When was the last time you experienced waiting and wonder? What was involved?
  1. What people/things/pressures/mindsets are most distracting for you?
