While I'm Waiting

What do you do when God seems so silent?  Or you unknowingly put Him on mute because you don't agree with His will for you?  There is time when I feel like God is not enriching my soul or upset with  His will and I lose motivation to do what is good..  I don't feel like it and I lose my way...  But when God's word is written in our hearts, we know truth... "Weeping may remain for the night but the rejoicing comes in the morning"  Let us remain obedient .. wait on the Lord, patiently...  Because our God is Faithful...  

While I'm Waiting by John Waller  

  (this song is from the movie Fireproof- highly recommend this movie)

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

YES, LORD!

The other day I was watching "Yes, Man!" with Jim Carey and Zooey Deschanel.  I really liked this movie.  It was extremely cute and I love the story.  Jim Carey's  character 's life is in shambles because his wife left him and to protect himself from hurt , he just says no to everything and he isolates himself.  There is no joy in him at all.  

Of course I related this with my relationship with God.  How many times I have said no lord to a lot of His will because it inconveniences me or because I don't want to be vulnerable to people using me or even being hurt by others.  Serving others is hard concept because attached to it,  we sometimes can not help but expect something in return.  But to be like Christ, we come to serve and not to be served.  But when we say "Yes, Lord" to His will and submit... always something good comes from it.  Fruit of the Spirit...  It may not start out that way... like when JC character does his first Yes, man and he goes out of his way to help this homeless man and his car stalls out in the middle of nowhere.   He's a bit bitter but then he encounters an amazing girl that kisses him.  The good would not have happened if he didn't step out and said Yes even though it was out of the character's comfort zone.  I loved seeing the transition of the guy as he says Yes to every request and in the end he is surrounded by so many people and he found joy.  

I am learning to say Yes, Lord even though I just want to say no but every time I do say Yes to the Lord and surrender... I always find joy and peace.  

How do we know God's will?  prayer and in God's word.. praying for discipline and self-control ...

I love this quote: 

I think a lot of times we miss out on how God wants to use us.  —I miss out on how God wants to use me —because we'’re not connected in conversation with Him; we’re not watching for Him at work; we’re not listening; we’re not recognizing His hand at work around us or those in need around us. - kim wagner from revive our Hearts

TRUE THAT!

Romper Crazy

So, I go in clothing stores these days  and I see rompers left and right.  They are really cute.  Then I'm looking over one and then I was thinking... How does one go to the bathroom.  Do you have to slip the straps off the shoulder down the arms and pull them down to the knees and while I'm going to the bathroom, I'll be shirtless.  hmmm...  If your in public bathrooms, people can catch a glimpse of me with no shirt through the cracks of the bathroom stall.

Even in the children's section they have these rompers.  I'm thinking I'd get Emma one because they are really cute.  But then when Emma goest to the bathroom she'll be shirtless without a bra...  hmmm

I guess a good solution would be to wear a camisole or tank top underneath but would that look too frumpy.

I saw a friend wearing one and she looked really cute.  And it was so flattering...  I asked her about the bathroom and she laughed and said I wasn't the first to ask.  She says she just goes but when she's in the public stall she makes sure she hangs up her purse so that it can block the view.  hahaha.

I wonder if anyone has any funny stories about wearing rompers.  Someone mentioned they should put clasp (like the baby onesies)  at the crotch area.  So funny...
