While I'm Waiting

Last night our Women's Ministry Board put on an event at church. Not an ordinary event mind you, but an event indeed. We had a Sleepover. An Anti-Slumber Party. An event of epic grazing at the snack table. I think it was a huge success. We had over 60 women come to start the evening and about 50 must have stayed to not-slumber. Besides not sleeping, we played games, heard an awesome devotional,and prayed together. Some women painted their nails, we enjoyed overall amazing fellowship with other women in the church and we watched the movie Fireproof.

At home we have been "waiting" for news of the paternity test. Wanted to know and not wanting to know. I haven't posted anything about it recently because there just hasn't been anything to say. I have tried to focus on the assurance that my God is an awesome God and that he loves our family beyond my comprehension. No matter what the results, he is not trying to hurt us. I have prayed more about this then I can even begin to tell you. I have tried to make my prayers remain for His will and for the well being of my Grandson, but sometimes it is sooooo hard. I want what I want and that of course goes without saying.

Through all of this, God has shown me what an awesome support system I have through my Sisters in Christ. Last night they told me that they were all praying....all.the.time. and that they were checking my daughter's blog and Facebook faithfully for updates. These amazing women and women like them at churches all over the country have been lifting my grandson, and his mommy and daddy, up in prayer. God knows that this little boy is so important to so many people.

While we were watching the movie Fireproof this song was part of the movie:

While I'm Waiting

John Waller
The Blessing

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, no
But faithfully, I will wait
Yes, I will wait

And 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 will move ahead, bold and confident
I'll be taking every step in obedience, yea

While I’m waiting
I will serve You
While I’m waiting
I will worship
While I’m waiting
I will not faint

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
I will serve You while I’m waiting
I will worship while I’m waiting on You, Lord

How amazing is it that we should choose to watch that movie, with this song, with those words, last night, while I'm waiting? God never ceases to give us what we need, when we need it. While I am waiting I will serve Him and I will worship Him and I will love Him.

Thank you to all of you who have been on this journey with me. There are no words to express how much you mean to me and what true support you have been.
