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
Taking every step in obedience

While I’m waiting I will serve You
While I’m waiting I will worship
While I’m waitingI 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
-John Waller, While I'm Waiting

So yesterday, I went and saw Fireproofed with some friends at school. It was in the Globe Theatre, it was free I figured eh...why not. I was not expecting much out of it...but I actually liked it. Don't get me wrong, the acting was well...mediocre but the concepts presented were so good. In one of the scenes I heard this song and I completely feel in love with it. I then went to look up the lyrics and the place I found them gave a little bit of a snippet of when he wrote this song. At the time he was hurting and one of his friends told him to write down how he was feeling. He told a little bit more of the story and he ended with a little reminder. He said to not just wait on God, but to actively wait. We should serve, worship and be faithful with what you have and where you are in life. After I read that I kind of just stopped and thought a few minutes about it...it kind of goes along with my issues with contentment. I'm always looking to add something to my life to make it that much better. I just thought it was a challenging thought.
