\u201cBecause you are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings.\u201d
\n\u202d\u202dPsalm\u202c \u202d63:7\u202c \u202dNIV\u202c\u202c<\/p>\n

Waiting can echo with a resounding emptiness. It can seem too quiet, as if nothing is happening or ever will. <\/p>\n

Even so, I know that God is moving. He goes before me and he is making a way. I know this because I can see fingerprints of His faithfulness all throughout my life. He has never failed me and He never will. He is the same yesterday, today and forever.<\/p>\n

Yet, there are days when the silence in this waiting becomes maddening. I feel as if I am scrambling, in search of something “to do” or to control, to lessen the wait. At the end of these days, I have felt nothing but defeat. My heart weary and restless. I am unable to even pray, I have exhausted all my emotional energy, all my words. <\/p>\n

It is in these moments, I am choosing to quiet my heart, surrendering any illusion of control. Lifting hands and voice in praise to My God, My Jesus.
\n<\/p>\n

In the uncertain waiting, I will sing. <\/p>\n

When fear grips me, threatening to steal my joy, I will sing.<\/p>\n

When this longing consumes me, I will sing.<\/p>\n

When my heart grows weary and restless, I will sing.<\/p>\n

When I lack strength and have nothing left to give, I will sing.<\/p>\n

I will choose to sing, for my God has always been good to me.<\/p>\n

………………<\/p>\n

Once a week, from the end of a November through December, I will simply share a song and a scripture verse. <\/p>\n

In this season of waiting, I am finding it hard to write, to translate my emotions into words. Instead, I am feeling a greater need to be still and rest. Letting go of distractions that make my perspective fuzzy and cause me to grow weary.<\/p>\n

I am finding that in this season, God’s word is becoming an even greater treasure. As I dig deeper into His word, my understanding into who He is and my trust in Him has grown stronger.<\/p>\n

Worship songs are another way that His character is being revealed to me at even deeper levels. Music has become a therapeutic balm for my weary heart. <\/p>\n

These scripture verses and songs that I will share have inspired and challenged me to reach deeper and grow stronger in my personal walk. They are my gift to you during the holiday season. I hope they resonate with your heart and bring a few moments of rest and refreshment.<\/p>\n

No matter what season of life you may find yourself in, my prayer is that Jesus will become your all in all, your hope, your joy, your reason to sing.<\/p>\n
