[title quote credited to Douglas Adams]
I don't expect life to be problem-free, and that's not what I'm asking for. . . but is there someone I can talk to about a trade? Someone that can take x number of my current problems and give me x number of new ones.
Coming home to the same problems day after day for so long is exhausting...confining almost. I feel suffocated.
A voice inside me shouts, "You have a problem? Well fix it!"
But its not always that easy. Its not always within my capabilities to fix, and that frustrates me like nothing else.
So I wait. But too often I relate waiting to doing nothing. I watched Fireproof the other night (beginning to redeem myself as a good little baptist) and the best thing I took from it was this song, While I'm Waiting, by John Waller.
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
Not breaking any new grounds theologically I guess, but I need the reminder.

Yeah....so.....just my take on things but........anything involving Kirk Cameron or Stephen Baldwin should probably be ignored at all costs. Secondly, you know, cultural things can give you ideas about Christian application as well as Christian things can. Meaning, of course you must stay rooted in the The Word of God, but anything in life can give you ideas or make you see things clearer.
ReplyDeleteYeah, Kirk Cameron is pretty much my nemesis, but I should have known not to say "I don't care what we watch." I spent most of the film mentally critiquing the set's interior design choices.
