Hurry Up & Wait

"Waiting is the rust of the soul." - Carlos Ruiz Zafón

"Waiting is the art of hoping." - Luc de Clapiers

Jairus, in this passage, is in a desperate hurry - He's trying to get Jesus to his dying 12 year old daughter.  The crowd was making the going slow & then precious minutes were lost in a strange healing of a woman with a 12 year old disease.  Today we learn some of God's purposes in waiting.  There are many and Jairus would learn many of them on this journey of Faith over Fear.
