While I'm Waiting...

There's a wonderful song by John Waller that pretty much sums up life in general, if you ask me, called "While I'm Waiting."

Lyrics to While I'm Waiting :

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
Takeing 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

I'm not always bold or confident, sometimes I lose sight of my hope, I'm rarely patient or peaceful, but this is the direction I want to grow in. My desire is to have faith like this and this whole foster/adopt process is certainly molding and transforming me in that direction for sure.

Things are looking good for us right now. We met our little one's CASA worker yesterday. She seems like a wonderful person. The CASA organization is something that I find really interesting. Court Appointed Special Advocate. She gave us a lot more information which came with a lot of good news and hope for us. The court case seems to be moving quickly and in our favor. There are potentially some new developments that could add some more excitement to our lives in the coming weeks and months. It would be a good thing if these new developments came to fruition, and it would be very nearly as crazy as having 8 hours notice prior to receiving an infant into our home. I'm going to hold back on saying much more just yet, and even as things develop, I'll have to stay somewhat vague. There's still a fairly high level of uncertainty as to if this will even happen and how it might go.

And that is where I'll leave you... In complete suspense so that you can practice waiting with me. Run the race my friends. A rudder is useless to guide and turn you if your boat isn't already moving. Life is a journey, not a destination. Enjoy the crazy ride.
