I will serve you while I`m waiting

            Lord I give you thanks that even in my struggles and sins you speak into them. Lord thank you for the gift of friendship you have provided and for the glimpse of purpose you have shown me in relationships with International students. Thank you for choosing to use me, so worthless, to reveal yourself to others. Help me Lord to love well and to speak boldly. Help me keep running this race, as I faithfully wait. Thank you Lord for the student who prayed last week, giving thanks for his religious freedom in America. What a gift we take for granted. And yet a gift he understands in completion. Thank you for the gift of friendship and relationships and how they teach us and strengthen us in faith. Thank you for the glimpses of hope you shed through struggles. You will work everything together for the good of those who love you. Thank you for those truths. Thank you for your promises.  

While I`m Waiting 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
