Renewed

We just got home from watching the movie "Fireproof." It is a fantastic movie and it is amazing to see God portrayed on the 'Big Screen' for everyone to see. It is just incredible what God can do with movies, marriages, and lives. Watching this movie has renewed my commitment to my marriage and to asking God to teach me every day how to love Scott and Branson. Incredible.

The second thing that hit me really hard, unexpectedly, in the middle of the movie was a song they played called "While I'm Waiting" by John Waller. I cried through the entire thing and it had nothing to do with my marriage! Well, I guess something to do with it. This song describes perfectly how I feel about the situation we are in with our baby and trying to grow our family. You can listen to it on youtube, just type in "while im waiting john waller." I will try to figure out how to link on another day. :) Since I do know how to cut and paste...here are the lyrics...

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

The song is awesome and I want this to be my prayer every day during this "waiting period" of our lives. God is bigger than any of our circumstances. Praise Him for that! :) So, this movie also renewed my waiting. I will not just sit around and idly pass the time until God decides to answer our prayers for another baby. I will actively wait on Him by serving, worshiping, praying, and being obedient even if His answer is not what I want to hear. Thank you, Lord for your faithfulness and your perfect timing in everything.
