Waiting...

Well-we continue to wait on our adoption worker to hear how she likes the video we made for potential birth parents. These past two weeks have been somewhat difficult. The school that I worked at for four years here, started back yesterday. It was very strange not getting up and going yesterday. I know that I've done the right thing by walking away and that God will bless my obedience, but it still hard. On the first day back though, Derrick and I drove to St. Louis to see a Cardinals game. We have had the tickets for awhile, but we took the opportunity to use them and celebrate Derrick's birthday at the same time! It was a treat and the Cardinals won-definitely a plus!

Last year, when the movie "Fireproof" came out, Derrick and I went to see it in the theater. The following song, from the movie, is by John Waller and speaks to how I am feeling now and how I am sure to feel many times during this process! It really is a beautiful song!

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
