I'd love to hear your answer...

to a question posed to me this morning after the church worship service we attended. Jessica and I saw a gentleman we knew and greeted him after the service ended. In the course of conversation he asked me, "What are you doing these days." I gave him my current standard answer that, "I'm waiting on the Lord." He then looked squarely at me and asked, "What are you doing to be intentional about waiting on God?" I thought that was one of the best questions I've had put to me lately. I have a few thoughts, but do you have any suggestions for me in this? I'm sure that will be a topic for a future post.

The past two Sundays I have found myself really moved during the worship services we've attended. Singing with the congregation today was especially meaningful as several songs helped me to express what my heart feels right now. One was "Everlasting God," and I opened up my bible and just meditated on Isaiah 40:31 (check it out here). The second was an old song that really needs to be sung more. It is called "We will Dance" by David Ruis (here's the song -- though this doesn't do it justice). I love the image of the "glorious bride and the Great Son of Man!" I know that Day is coming and at the rate life flies by, not very long from now.
