While I'm Waiting
Psalm 5:3, 27:14, 33:20, 37:7, 38:15, 40:1, Isaiah 30:18, Lamentations 3:24
John Waller

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

Why do you post things you don't actually write? haha I'm jk, but it's the same with photos, just a different method of expression, you know? I really like that song/poem...i should remember it, feels like i'm constantly waiting as well. but i think waiting is in the eye of the beholder. we're only waiting if we choose not to be content with where we are. does that make sense?

true. however, there can still be things that we want/desire in the future, but can't have now. when it's out of our control. take my bachelor's degree, for instance. I am waiting to receive that. but not passively. I am being active in the process. so in other forms of forced waiting, one must be active in still keeping oneself prepared and intentional about those desires.

so waiting perhaps, IS in the eye of the beholder. but however the beholder looks at it, there is always still an aspect of waiting we all must do. I am waiting to further prepare my sunday school lesson for tomorrow. but not passively sitting here doing so. I am thoroughly and intellectually responding to your comment, and writing a paper for school. I'm content waiting to do the lesson, but still actively living in the moment.

annnnnnnnd. I let people KNOW when I am posting material that is not my own. note that I gave you the author's name, to inform you it was NOT me who wrote it??

shazam!

i agree with you on the whole waiting thing. but my response was SOO much quicker to type :D I didn't want to WAIT to write all that mumbo jumbo. haha

so I should have written anonymous on all those posts...because I have no idea where they came from...hehe plus anyone that knows what kinda of camera I have obviously knows that my own photos are incapable of looking near that nice...

BURN.
