A favorite...

This is one of my favorite songs. I think all of us are always "waiting" on something. Whether it's for a new job, a baby, to move, a friendship, retirement, relationships, or even for the sun to come out again after a few days of rain; this describes such a perfect prayer for waiting. I've been learning a lot about obedience lately so when I just heard this song again, the line "taking every step in obedience" rang over and over in my head. I hope this encourages you - as it always encourages me. We serve an ALMIGHTY God who is diligently working life out for us.

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

Happy New Year to 2010

Happy New Year!!! I just wrote the date today for the first time. 2010. How crazy is that - a new decade. It's all about New Year Resolutions these days. My first resolution was to start posting on my blog daily...haha. Yeah right. I can tell you now, that will never be one of my resolutions. Matt and I made a commitment to read our bible in a year. Our church is doing "Voyage through the bible in 2010" and holding us accountable through our sunday school class and church service. We each have a new chronological bible and we're on Day 4 today. So far so good! I already know this is going to be an amazing year and I'm eager to see what all the Lord has in store for us.

Kathryn and I had a little heart to heart on January 1st and we agreed (or rather, I informed her) of her three New Year Resolutions:
1. Learn to go potty on "the big girl potty"
2. Learn to pick up her toys (we like to aim for the sky)
3. Learn to sleep in her big girl bed
I'll keep you posted on those.

One of my best friend's, Dabney, has this quote on her page: Don't rob yourself of the joy of this season by wishing you were in a future or a past one. Each season has its unique value; focus on the present possiblities, and be content wtih today. Live each day to its fullest. (C. Biehl) Wow! What a statement. And what a great mindset to start a new year!
