The Waiting Room

"The Waiting Room [...] takes us through not only one man's fight against cancer, but also a spiritual one through [Darlene's] own eyes."-Dr. Raj Goel, BSc, M.D., FRCS

When a diagnosis of prostate cancer sends Jake and Darlene into turmoil, their new normal includes sitting in a lot of waiting rooms. They constantly find themselves having to wait for tests, test results, and doctor's reports. They also create waiting rooms in their own minds where they struggle with fear, anxiety, and worry.

Since an appointment isn't necessary to see the Great Physician, they go to Him often and sit with Him in His waiting rooms of grace, hope, trust, praise, and prayer. And when they ask Him to heal Jake, the Lord responds: "Wait."

Over time Jake's body grows weaker, but his faith in Jesus remains strong as he recalls a faithful, loving, and trustworthy God.

How will this story end? Will Jake experience healing while in this waiting room called life? Or will his healing come when the Lord calls him home?
