i love music

i didn't realize how much i listened to music until i moved and the rhythm of my life was disrupted. i don't have easy access to listening now like i used to (while cooking and folding laundry especially) but that's okay, it gives me another thing to look forward to once we have our own place once again.

music is also a great teaching tool. we have several cds going right now (one in the car, one in the boys room at night) that are Bible verses set to music. the funny thing is, the big kids grew up listening to steve green's "hide 'em in your heart" series, so if the same verse is used with a different tune, it totally throws them off.

we are currently going through one song a week from this book in preparation for Easter (did you know it's only 9 weeks away?)

love bobbie wolgemuth (her blog is awesome) and joni tada

i was especially touched by a song i heard on the radio in the car yesterday. you may recognize it from this movie. there are so many people (including us) who are waiting for big things in their life: for a job, for their house to sell, for healing from serious health problems, for news about a job, for their fertility treatments to work, for direction for their future (and we're praying for you every. day!) that this song is a good reminder for those of us who have trouble just "being still and knowing" that even while we wait, we can still serve God and worship Him. and what a privilege that is. email if i can add your prayer request to my list.

be blessed today--


While I'm Waiting (sung 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
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
