Creeping slowly along


We received our new number the first week of February. We now hold the #58 spot. Brooke formed the number out of candy Valentine hearts. For some reason I had been counting on January being a big month for movement, but that wasn't the case. We were disappointed at first, but it amazing how peaceful we do still feel regardless of how slowly things are moving. There is a song that keeps playing over and over in my head. It is "While I'm Waiting" by John Waller. The lyrics are so perfect and sums up how we are managing the wait.

I am waiting......I'm waiting on You, Lord.....And I'm 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 am waiting....I will not faint....I'll be running the race even as I wait.

I'm waiting....I'm waiting on You, Lord...And I am peaceful....I'm waiting on You, Lord....Though it is not easy....But faithfully, I will wait....Yes, I will wait...I will serve you while I am waiting....I will worship while I am waiting.

And that is what we are doing.
