While I'm Waiting

Lying in bed all the time, I do a lot of "waiting." Waiting to be the mother I want to be, the wife, friend, support system, cook, seamstress, etc. that I love being.

 I can very easily feel useless, unable to do things I was once able to. And yet, in God, I am productive; my weakness is strength; my waiting is on Him, and with that, all of this becomes meaningful. One doesn't need to be able to do any of the above to receive the wisdom of God; they simply need to be open. And that-- that I can do ;)

 This is my prayer... that the words in this song, though not always true, would be so 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

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
