In the year 2020, the worldwide COVID-19 virus closed down the entire world when we were quarantined and advised to stay in our homes. Everything came to a standstill. It was then that the process of writing this book began.

It is said that everyone's life is a book. After years of recording events in journals and keeping photo albums and homemade movies with the hand-me-downs from three generations, I decided to share my life in book form.

Then at the advanced age of ninety years, I was amazed that my memory was still able to recall these memories. However, they are the clutter of my collections. I thank God for the early morning hours of quiet time spent in God's "Word" with my Bible and devotionals and for my mind and physical ability to pursue this venture.

The "good news" is always worth sharing. We have the privilege of using our limited time on earth to spread His life-changing truth of love with others. Even during the turbulent and loneliest occasions we encounter, He is always there to provide what we need (Corinthians 2:12-17).

This has been a joy, an experience, and has been my pleasure sharing my writings in my book The Waiting Room with you. My prayer is that you will be blessed as a reader of my life. What's amazing is that God uses our prayers to accomplish His plans. May God's blessings be with you (Romans 8:28). Amen!
