I Will Wait

I received some sad news this afternoon as I was informed that I was not one of the finalists for a Guidance Position that I had interviewed for last week. Though the news stung a bit I am reminded of how everything happens for a reason and I guess working at that particular high school just wasn't in my cards - at least not right now.

I've been steadily working and listening to Pandora this afternoon, much like I always do when "I Will Wait" by Aaron Shust came across the play list. Side note: if you haven't checked out Pandora before, I highly recommend it - LOVE it! Back to Aaron Shust.

I Will Wait

When I am tired You bring me comfort
When I am weak You give me strength
When I can’t walk You give me wings like an eagle
When I’m alone You bring me peace

I will wait for Your mercy
I will wait for Your plan to unfold
I will wait for Your mercies are new every morning

When I am wounded You heal my broken bones
And when I sing You fill my heart with joy
And when I fear the unknown You give me peace
And when I call, You always answer me

We wait for You like watchmen wait for morning
We wait for You like creation waits for spring
We wait for You knowing sometimes without warning
You reveal Your plan in ways that maybe we don’t understand

I seem to be stuck in a familiar place these days. It was last year, at this same time, that I was unemployed and wondering where it was that I would find work. A temporary position became available and I took it, never knowing that it would turn into something full year but all along trusting that I would be taken care of and that everything would work out accordingly. Looking back, I have learned far more this past year that I ever would have learned else where. I have no regrets. I am grateful for the opportunities that I have had. But here I sit, once again, not knowing what the future holds and as a mother and a wife this scares me but I can comfortably say that we will be taken care of. That we will make things work, something will come about, and when the time is right everything will come to light. Where ever it is that I am supposed to be it will be just that, where I am supposed to be.
