Waiting

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bb7TSGptd3Y

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


So many of my friends can not WAIT to be done with college, done with school, and on to the next biggest and greatest thing. They feel like they don't know where they're going, what they're doing, or why they're doing what they're doing.
Honestly, I love where I am. Starting year number 2 of college, and not being exactly sure where I'm going next (Even if I do have a pretty good idea). But I've got an amazing family, great church, and incredible friends that I love dearly!
Part of the adventure is waiting. Waiting to see what exactly God has in store next. It's not an "insert Jeopardy music here" kind of waiting, but an exciting, "night before Christmas as a little kid" kind of waiting. For a sophomore in College, I've already seen many things that have helped me to relax a little on life. Sure, the idea that I don't know what exactly I'm doing can be intimidating, but I know that the only way I can get to where I'm supposed to be is to trust.
Life can be great, and sometimes it can really bite. But I'm so excited now to see what is next. I have ideas, but nothing is in stone yet. I could be anywhere next year. I'd love to be here, but I'd love to be somewhere else if that's where God wants me.
Wherever I end up, I'm excited about this year of "waiting." It's a time to move ahead and wait at the same time. It might sound weird to say I'm waiting, but I'm giving my everything. But I am. It's a time to serve, to Love, to grow in my Faith, to worship, live loud, and make memories that will last forever... Who knows what's next (besides God!), so, "Here goes nothing, and here goes everything!"


Never got anywhere
By running away
Never learned anything
Without anything
without a mistake
Never loved anyone
By playing it safe
It's a long way, but
I'm right here now, so...

Here goes nothing,
Here goes everything
Gotta reach for something
or you'll fall for anything
Take a breath,
Take a step,
What comes next
God only knows
But here goes

I don't wanna turn around
and wonder what happened
Never lost and never found
Are one and the same
I wanna run across the battle lines
And take my chances
Not the long way 'round
When I'm here right now

What good is chance not taken,
What good is life not living,
What good is love not given?

Here goes nothing,
Here goes everything
Gotta reach for something
or you'll fall for anything
Here goes nothing,
Here goes everything
Gotta reach for something
or you'll fall for anything
Take a breath,
Take a step
What comes next
God only knows
But here goes
And God only knows
But here goes

Here goes nothing,
Here goes everything
Gotta reach for something
or you'll fall for anything
Take a breath,
Take a step,
What comes next
God only knows
But here goes

  1. Yes Yes Yes! That song is great.... Worship while I'm waiting. For a while when things were just getting all messed up I was doubting if I had made the right choice... Wondering if God really wanted me in Mexico after all. I was worried, because Mexico was as far as my little head was thinking at that time. What I've come to realize is that Mexico or not, wherever God places me is going to be the best- whether it was in MY plan or not.

    It is so nice to have someone to relate with girl!! Thanks for the great post.
