While I was driving down the road the other day I turned on the radio to one of the christian radio stations and this song was on. Now this song is from the movie Fireproof, which most adults recoil at, noting its terrible acting and cheesy lines, but one of my best friends and I (hey Abby! ;)) actually really liked this movie.
Anyway, the lyrics to this song are, and always have been very convicting for me. The whole song is about waiting on the Lord BUT while waiting still serving and following and trusting Him. I don't know about you but that's hard for me. It's hard to trust and follow when you just really want to know when or how something is going to happen.
Right now I feel like my whole life is in waiting: school, this long, long-awaited adoption, my future career...
All of these are frustrating to be on this side of and not be able to see the finish line anywhere in sight.
As most of you know, we've been waiting to bring these children that we're adopting home for a very long time. But still we're waiting, sometimes not so patiently. I've finished a whole year of school but I'm still not even in the nursing program. And I need an education to start the career I would like....
"I will move ahead, bold and confident, taking every step in obedience. While I'm waiting." Sometimes my heart can't really truly sing those lyrics and mean them, but it's something to work on.
While I'm worrying about my grades or what comes next in life, I need to stop and sit in the moment. The Lord has given me everything I need already, so why spend what he's given me on worrying?
"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes?" Matthew 5:25
I, we, have to remember that the Lord is our Strength, Provider, and only He knows what the future brings. And we need to trust that.
