"But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint"(Isaiah 40:31).).
This song came on the radio today..."While I'm Waiting". The last time I heard it was in the "Fireproof" movie. When I heard it ~ I liked it and thought what a great song. Today though it hit me a little differently...
When the song started, for some reason I became so overwhelmed with emotion. I started getting the flashbacks of Emily being in ICU. Coming in every morning hoping the levels on the vent were lower and she was breathing more by herself, hoping she had a good night sleep, hoping we had nurses that we loved. It was all we did was wait. We had to learn (which is what hit me today) is that we weren't waiting for Emily to do something but we were just waiting for the Lord and HIS timing in the situation. His plan is always the best plan, His ways are always the best ways. Do I like waiting...no, I am very impatient! Did I enjoy pushing the 4th floor button on the elevator everyday for a month knowing my daughter was on a vent, a feeding tube & laying in a bed in ICU? Not for a minute.
But with as much of the dislikes that i had (and have) every time she has been in the hospital, I also feel that there is a special piece to the Lords puzzle ~ the puzzle He is working on called "Emily's life"! Would I give anything to know that in the morning when she wakes up for school that the Lord has healed her ~ absolutely. Do I want to rush the process ~ i cant because then the process wouldn't be perfect like the Lords process!
