The song, "While I'm Waiting" came on the radio on my drive home today:
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
Takeing 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

It was a reminder that I'm not to be anxious - while I'm waiting.
That I'm not to grow weary - while I'm waiting.
Even though the wait has seemed so extremely long, I will not faint, I will not fall - I'M WAITING!
I know the Lord has plans for me. I know there is a WELL-DEFINED CALLING on my life. I know these things. What I don't know is the How and the Where and the When of that calling. Yet, I will not sit and wait.
I was reminded of this thought as I was preparing for my DARE meeting tomorrow morning. Even though my future is "up in the air" and I don't know if I'm staying or going or...I am still DOING HIS WILL! I have loved taking these last 6 weeks going through the DISCIPLESHIP DARE with three teenage girls. It's been fun and rewarding to watch how God has used this material to touch their lives. I am also blessed just to have the opportunity to disciple them, to pray with them, to encourage them...just to hang with them.
So, while I'm waiting...I will SERVE as the Lord gives me opportunity. I will INVEST in others. I will STEWARD my time and energies into those the Lord has placed before me. I will MAKE A DIFFERENCE by showing Christ's love and being His hands and feet - as He enables me to do so!
Very nice Mariann, I also have a blog if you are interested in stopping by. I have not been as active these past few months, but when the mood strikes me, I do write. Thank you for sharing your faith. :) God is good!
