ortunity to sit down and look at it. While some of the acting left something to be desired, it truly was excellent. I encourage any and everyone to watch it, particularly if you are married or about to be. Within the movie, one of the things that really jumped out at me was a song called "Waiting" by John Waller. This song describes EXACTLY how I feel and where I'm at in my life. It's tough sometimes to follow God. Mainly, because I never really know where I'm headed or where it is He's leading me! It's so much easier if I'M in control, 'cause then I have all of the answers. However, trusting Him and His plan for me and my life means relinquishing all control and running on faith and the belief that He has better things in store for me than I could ever imagine or devise for myself. I'll tell you what though - however hard that may be to do, I still do it. I do it because I trust in Him, and believe in His plan and His greatness. Truthfully, I feel I can't afford NOT to[!]. I've learned though, that when we do trust God to lead us down the path that He has laid before us, there is sometimes some down time. Down time, is tough. It's hard when you don't know where you're going, and you don't know exactly what you are supposed to do yet, and it seems as if you are just waiting around. Human nature says to get up and do something - anything!! Make something happen, get moving, and if things aren't happening right this minute, then FORCE THEM!! But when God is gently whispering.....wait...., it can be difficult to deal with!! John Waller's song speaks directly to and about that, and it hit me right where I live. I may not be where I want to be at this moment, but there is plenty I can do, and so much to enjoy and be grateful for while I am waiting. After all, and I've heard it said a million times - "life is not the destination, but the journey". We[I]need to remember to try and enjoy every minute of every day, and accept these moments for what they are - a gift. All of this will make sense some day, and our earthly lives will be over before we even know it. Do not allow yourself to get caught up in selfish desires[I'll be happy when I have more money, or get that promotion, or next year when I'm.....etc.], but know His joy NOW, even while we wait!!!

"Patiently, I will wait."
I saw the movie "Fireproof" the other night. I'd heard many people talk[more like rave]about this flick, and finally had the opp
