Honey Whole Wheat Bread

I'm attempting my hand at Honey Whole Wheat Bread.  I figured since the white bread I made a couple of weeks ago went well and tasted great....why not?  Everything seems to be going well so far.
This new "job" is hard.  It's work and wait, work and wait, work and wait.  So hence the making of bread. You contact people but then you have to wait for their response.  Hurry up!  Answer me now!  Is what I'm thinking.  I'm not one that does well with waiting.  It's not about patience.  It's more being anxious for the outcome.  I just want to know the answer so that I can move on.

Psalm 27:14 says "Wait on the Lord; Be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the Lord!"  My Bible commentary says this about the verse: "To wait on the Lord is to demonstrate confident expectation.  The Hebrew word for wait may also be translated hope.  To hope in God is to wait for His timing and His action."  Thinking about hoping in God reminds me of this year's verse for our church, "Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful" (Heb 10:23).

The hope that is talked about here is not the wishy-washy hope that the world makes claims to.  It is true hope in Jesus Christ.  And when we are Christians, our hope is one of expectation - it is going to happen.  You can bank your bottom dollar on it.  The world thinks of hope like a lottery ticket.  You have no idea if you are going to win or not.  The chances are slim to none for winning.  But when we HOPE in the Lord - we know for sure that it is going to happen.  No doubt about it.  So hold on tight to the things that God has told you.  For me - it is holding tight to the FACT that God is going to bring in all our monthly support when it's time.

Application to myself - I need to continue to "wait on the Lord" and know that He will give me the answers.  When I need to know.  With a smile on my face I can wait.  This world ain't got nothin' on me!

And I think my bread is done rising.  Now to make the loaves, let it rise again and bake!  Can't wait! :)
