Almost Over

I'm nearly at the end of a commitment I've made. A period of time set aside specifically to pray and fast and wait. There are 3 hours left. I'm glad I've done it, but I'll be glad when it draws to a close as well.

When it ends, I'll still be committed to praying and waiting. I'll actually still be doing a fast of sorts. So, in that way, I guess not too much will change.

But it's been a unique few days, and I'm glad for them in a way. I'm glad for the slowing down and the focus that this time demanded. I'm glad for the draw to focus and pray for some of those I love deeply.

And yet, I'll be glad that it is drawing to a close.

I'm praying still for a change of season. A shift to come. I pray that it draws closer and comes quickly.
