While I'm Waiting

It's seems like we are always talking about what we want out of life....our next vacation, our next house, our next car, everything. We are always waiting on the next big thing in our lives. Sometimes, we know what's coming, but we can't do anything but wait. We have friends that are going through the adoption process and I can't even imagine that wait. We have other friends who just completed the adoption of their precious little girl. The amazing part is that they have both kept their focus on the Lord. It would be so easy to become distracted by worry, desire, and despair, but they are such strong people of faith and have trusted in the Lord to provide for them and fill their hearts' desire. I keep hearing this song by John Waller called "While I'm Waiting" and it just made me think about how I'm waiting for my own desires. I am placing the lyrics at the bottom of this post and I'll try to post the song...if I can figure out how to do that.  The song talks about praising and worshipping while waiting for the Lord. It's so easy to become consumed by our desires that we forget to thank, praise, and serve the One that gives it to us all. This song really made me think...hopefully, it will bless you as much as it has me!

While I'm Waiting

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
