The moment high school graduation hits how many college hand books, this-is-what-it's-like conversations and t.v. shows do we see about the impending transition? maybe more than the number of mountains in Colorado. The funny thing is...the bigger transition comes after college graduation as the real world inches closer...and how many preparations do we have about that transition? close to none. So then we hang in the balance of "What do I do?" It's exciting and nerve racking and feels slow and horribly fast and overwhelming all at one time.
The transition from the school days to the real world is one everyone faces and no one talks about. Why? It's uncomfortable. It's uncomfortable to wait. I find myself in this particular waiting rhythm. I don't expect to exit it soon and therefore, I pray to find a way to embrace it. I wonder often what it looks like to serve and worship and embrace and be patient and be bold while I wait. I still don't have a clear picture...I do know it will require a sensitivity to redirection, interruption in "my plans" and adventure...so through it I pray this is my confession and song of my heart:
Lyrics to While I'm Waiting :
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
