More waiting...

I continue to wait.  Wait and pray. Wait and see.  Wait to hear from doctors.  Wait to see if these meds are working.  Wait for the muscle biopsy.  Wait and be open to what my family is supposed to be learning in all of this.  Well, with the theme of my middle name "WAIT" I'm reminded of a a great song,  A song that helped through a difficult time during our adoption process of Audrey An.  If you followed our adoption blog, you might rememberthis post on April 9, 2009 (oops, it's not linking the exact link...just click on April 9, 2009 on the sidebar).  Again, this song, has such meaning to me in some many areas in my life.  As I've been alone in this hospital bed since last night when my handsome hubby left me after our "date"....which consisted of strolling through the hospital in my wheelchair,  getting a chocolate dipped cone from the "bowing" Ronald McDonald, snuggling in my hospital bed and of course, playing with the switches on the hand rails...how romantic is that!?!  It's now 12:30 pm on Sunday, and I'm waiting for my crew to get here-  oops...while I WAIT on the gang, Dr. S came in and he said he's still hoping to have the muscle biopsy for in the morning (instead of Tuesday...we'll see).  To answer my sister's questions..it will not be a needle biopsy.  They're taking a larger area....lovely.

Anyway, I hope this songs touches somebody- it sure does me.  The video is the context of waiting for a broken marriage to reconcile, but listen to the words and think of what you're waiting on- health, schooling, moving, broken relationships, job, service, spouse.  We are all waiting on something.  It's what we do in the wait that matters.   There are so many great lessons He wants to teach us in the wait.  So many great lessons we can teach our children.  Don't waste it. Although I can't do my normal things  such as serve, volunteer, play with the girls, He's stretching me to ramp it up and be faithful in the small things with my husband and girls. Two little girls are watching how mommy handles her waiting.  Do we wait and grumble or do we wait while praying and seeking His directions and accept the wait??

Off my soapbox now (well, for now!)...
Happy waiting...you're not alone : )

I LOVE this picture!  Precious Rachel helping my Abigail in her "wait".  priceless!!!
