Growing up in Brazil, I became accustomed to waiting. In fact, one of my favorite Brazilian children's songs is about waiting in lines, saying the line is not Indian, not American, not African, etc., but the line belongs to all. Though waiting in lines is quite unfamiliar here in the United States and is considered the result of poor management, even Americans have to wait for something in their lives. Truly, waiting is a human experience. And God uses it to do wonders in our lives.
