While I'm Waiting

It's been awhile since I have sat down to write a blog. I've had a busy last few weeks with work and all I want to do when I get home is...nothing..absolutely nothing. I haven't been running, cooking, anything when I get home. I decided that this week would be different. I would do the things I enjoy doing.

I've been so busy that I have let that get in the way of praying diligently for the things I was praying for before. I still prayed several times a day, but not in the way I knew I should. So I also had a talk with myself about getting back to what is really important in life.

I've had several things on my prayer list that I'm praying about for myself. I also have a prayer list full of requests from others, but tonight I'm going to take time to write about myself.

I'm not a patient person, I think I've mentioned this before in my blog. I want everything done and I want it done yesterday. I've never been good with waiting. Over the last month and a half, God has really challenged me to "wait." This hasn't been the easiest task but it is getting easier everyday.

On this list of things I'm praying for for myself, some are easy to wait for answer for while others are not. This morning, I was listening to pandora as I do every morning and this song came on "While I'm Waiting" by John Waller. I first heard this song on the movie Fireproof and thought it was a good song, but never had much application in my life...because I simply am not a "wait" type of gal.

However, as I listened to the words this morning they rang so true to me. Every time today that I thought about something that I should do, take things into my own hands, all those thoughts that impatient people think, I thought of this song. I know that if I wait for God and don't take matters in my own hands it will be so worth it in the end.

So for now, in several aspects of my life, I'm waiting...

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

Today I'm thankful for:

1) waiting for God so that His will, will be revealed
2) the ability to run.. I love running
