September 17

It's probably really difficult to see, but there's actually a bee in the center of this image. Squint. You may be able to make him out.

What was remarkable to me about said bee was how he hovered there in exactly the same spot for at least 15 minutes. His little wings consistently whirred like a box fan, but he didn't actually move at all.

So where am I going with this, because obviously it's not a great thing to spin your wheels and go nowhere, right? Well, what struck me was how he didn't give up. I think it's easy to throw in the towel when we're working really hard and it seems like our circumstances aren't changing for the better. But this bee, he just hovered there, working away, waiting. Kind of like we sometimes have to wait on God.
