Day 30: While I'm Waiting

John Waller's song "While I'm Waiting" is such a great reminder of how important it is to wait on God actively, not passively. Waiting is taking a lot more time than I ever dreamed it would. My prayer is that I don't waste that time by "marking time" but that I rather use it to serve. This is not how I expected this 30 day period to end. A month ago I had every reason to believe that I would have an answer from the IMB regarding the next phase of the process. I was wrong in that belief. It will be another month, maybe longer, before I know anything. What I do know is that God has a plan for every part of my life, even during this time of waiting. Thanks for joining me in prayer. I'll be in touch when I know more.

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
