Mark picked me up from the station and after a restless sleep took me to hospital to get checked out; the waiting really started as we spent the day shuffling between various waiting rooms and x-ray.&nbsp; Finally, Mark waited as I got the verdict and a temporary cast.&nbsp; Now we wait to see the fracture clinic in a week\u2019s time.&nbsp; It\u2019s all waiting for me now!&nbsp; I would love to say I was happy in the waiting but that would be a lie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I do think this is a time to reflect on priorities and managing my time better, I guess I have no option other than to wait on the Lord and trust that everything is in His timing.&nbsp; I hope that if you are waiting too, it may be a time of rest and blessing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Much love and see you in October x<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meditation Verse: Psalm 38 \u201cFor You Oh Lord do I wait\u201d Waiting is something I have been reminded of several<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-976","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/rwnorthblog.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/976","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/rwnorthblog.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/rwnorthblog.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rwnorthblog.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rwnorthblog.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=976"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/rwnorthblog.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/976\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":977,"href":"https:\/\/rwnorthblog.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/976\/revisions\/977"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/rwnorthblog.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=976"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rwnorthblog.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=976"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rwnorthblog.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=976"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
