Waiting

I have found that when you have a chronic illness or any illness that is not common or easily diagnosed, you spend a lot of time waiting.

Waiting in doctor's offices to see the physician.

Waiting for lab and test results.

Waiting for procedures to be scheduled.

Waiting for medication and treatment.

Today is a tough day. My pain is not well controlled and I am extremely fatigued. I have lots to do and neither the energy nor the physical ability to get it all done.

And I am waiting....waiting to find out when they will finally reschedule my biopsy so that I can then wait for answers from the pathologist.

All of this reminds me of the song "While I'm Waiting" 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

And 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

So, while I wait for test results, procedures to be scheduled, doctor's office visits, etc. I will worship my Savior. I will serve Him and run the race as best I can while I wait.

 

Blessings,
