WHERE IS GOD IN THE WAITING?
Isabel Ong I am not the sort of girl who cries easily. But one afternoon I was suddenly and briefly overcome with emotion when listening to a song, Take Courage, by Kristene DiMarco. The lines that moved me went: “Take courage my heart, stay steadfast my soul / He’s in the waiting, He’s in the …
