Waiting

This past week has been one of the most stressful and confusing weeks that I have had in a long time. I thought that I had it all together, I knew what I wanted out of life, my vision was clear, I was looking ahead and walking the straight and narrow. Does anyone else feel like their Christian walk is a constant cycle of highs and lows? Every time we think we may have figured it all out God waltz's in to remind us that we don't. The worst part is that it never ends. We are a fallen and sinful people and it takes Christ to humble us, to snap us out of this attitude of human arrogance, and kick us onto our knees in reverent submission to him. Will this cycle ever end? As long as I remain in this human body of mine, I don't think that it will. As I grow and learn from each experience the highs and lows may become less dramatic, but they will always be there. No one can be a die-hard Christian 100% of the time. Unfortunately it just does not work that way.

I should really be writing a paper right now, so I am going to keep this short. One more thing that I want to post are some of the lyrics to a song by John Waller called While I'm Waiting. I feel like they have a lot to say to me in regards to my past week (I would highly recommend looking up the song and listening to it if you get a chance.)

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
