While I'm Waiting...



We went to see Fireproof tonight with a friend. I highly recommend it.

I'm still struggling and hurting and just overwhelmed with ache for this child that Matt and I have prayed so long for. Its funny, even in the midst of my pain, God speaks. I was overwhelmed with emotion from a song I heard from the movie. Never heard it before. Yet it touched me to the depths of my soul. I believe it will become a life song for me, for us. But I know I'm not their yet, I know it will take God working in me to make the words of this song come to life.

I still hurt, and I still ask "why God, why?" and hearing a song didn't miraculously cure me or make me feel A-OK again. But I believe it to be a start. Thank you for loving us, and supporting us. Turn off the music at the bottom before listening to this video, and the lyrics are at the bottom. I pray one day I can shout out from the depths of my soul I WILL SERVE YOU LORD WHILE I'M WAITING! I WILL WORSHIP YOU LORD, WHILE I'M WAITING!!!

Lord, I'm waiting.......

While I’m Waiting
Psalm 5:3, 27:14, 33:20, 37:7, 38:15, 40:1, Isaiah 30:18, Lamentations 3:24
John Waller

I’m waiting
I’m waiting on You, Lord
And I am hopeful
I’m waiting on You, Lord
Though it is painful
But patiently, I will wait

I will move ahead, bold and confident
Taking every step in obedience

While I’m waiting
I will serve You
While I’m waiting
I will worship
While I’m waiting
I will not faint
I’ll be running the race
Even while I wait

I’m waiting
I’m waiting on You, Lord
And I am peaceful
I’m waiting on You, Lord
Though it’s not easy
But faithfully, I will wait
Yes, I will wait

I will serve You while I’m waiting
I will worship while I’m waiting
I will serve You while I’m waiting
I will worship while I’m waiting
I will serve You while I’m waiting
I will worship while I’m waiting on You, Lord

Dave and I saw Fire Proof too. I was thinking how meaningful and appropriate that song was. At least there are others in this wait with us. Praise God he carries us through.
