While I'm Waiting...

 One of my friends sent me a song from the movie Fireproof because she said it reminded her of me. The lyrics are powerful and I thought about it 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

I will worship while I'm waiting on You, Lord

Many know my story. If you don't, just ask :) Here is the deal, put God FIRST in every relationship you have. Make sure HE is first and build a relationship based on Him. Heartbreak is the worst feeling in the world. A feeling that could've been spared if I would've truly put God first. NOW, having said that, I don't question WHY things happened the way they did. Never would I have known how to love so deeply and take care of someone and learn the power of faith in the face of a nasty disease had I not met and dated one of my best friends Josh Bennefield. Our relationship taught me many things. I don't regret the opportunity I had to share so much of my life with such an amazing person. But God wasn't truly FIRST in our relationship.I know God puts people in your life for a purpose and we go through trials to make us stronger. No one ever said it would be easy. If you sat down and talked to some of the people you consider to be the strongest, I am SURE they have a trial or two they could tell you about that made them the person they are today. Trials make us stronger, they perfect our faith and bring us closer to God. While God is working in my life, and I am learning whatever it is He wants me to learn from this, I will wait. I worry about the future so much sometimes that I forget to live in the present. I painted a little picture today to be able to look at and remind myself, no matter WHAT, it is in God's hands. God is going to take care of me because I am HIS child and I am doing everything in my power to make sure I am staying in HIS will. Friends, enjoy the little things in life. The little things are what keep you going. Tell your husband/wife, or boyfriend/girlfriend you love them. Appreciate them. Love them like they are leaving...and they won't (Good Brad Paisley song ;) Tell them how much they mean to you. Call them just to say hey. Write them a little note just to let them know they are your most favorite person in the world. THESE things are what keep you going. If you love them, don't just assume they know! REMIND THEM... OFTEN and ALWAYS. LV2DAY

Love,
