Hold On

I started telling the pastor about my problems. Looking for his guidance, I was nearly crying out in pain. Opening up about my struggles he suddenly advises me to hold on. I agreed with him that I should hold on strongly through my endeavors. Still I'm pouring more of my soul into venting. So frustrated I am then he urges me once again "hold on". Now becoming emotional as he listens to me so well and silently he is. I feel an even closer connection. I can't wait until he gives me some advice. Anxious I await. Then he tells me once again "hold on" but I was already done talking. Then he says to me, "Sorry about that. I couldn't keep up with what you were telling me because I was on the phone the whole time."
