Hello God? It’s Me…Heather. Can We Synchronize Our Watches?

We all know that Heather Jacobson is not a patient person and right now, in addition to waiting on these darn flowers and plants to bloom, I find myself waiting on so many more aspects of my life.

I just wait.  I try so hard to be patient; I really do.

No, really, I do.

But I just feel like right now I’m in this holding pattern.

Which is okay, but I’m also not as strong as I have been in the past, although I’m getting back on track thanks to some amazing people at church who take the time to ask me a simple question… “how are you?”

Now that I work in the office and not at home, I have some time in the car to think and talk to God.  Most of the time, I’m talking to Him about how people just do NOT know how to drive.  I mean, seriously, does no one know how to merge?  Sometimes I wonder.

Anywho, in the car the other morning, as I was actually paying attention to God, and I was going on and on and on about how I’ve been trying so hard to do what I’m supposed to be doing and He’s making me wait.  Waah…. But in the background a song started playing on the radio.

I caught one section of the song and stopped dead in my tracks.  Well, not really dead in my tracks, but you know what I mean.

Now, I have to tell you… I’ve heard this song a million times but I’ve never *heard* it.  Ya know what I mean?

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
Takeing 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

Think he was trying to tell me something?

I’m listening, God.  I’m waiting, too.  But seriously… is the wait almost over for all these things?
