Waiting

A few months ago I was pulling into a friend's house while trying to find something to listen to on the radio when I heard a song called While I am Waiting by John Waller. I was instantly intrigued because for the past several months and still now I am in a stage of life where I am waiting for God to reveal to me what is next in my life. I am not the best at waiting, not many people are, but I have learned that waiting on the Lord is a time to grow. Through this song and a lot of prayer I have come to realize I am waiting for a reason and while I am waiting I need to continue to serve the Lord and seek Him. God has me waiting for a reason and while I wait I need to take hold of the opportunities that are here in front of me now and waiting will not be so hard. Below is the song, it has powerful lyrics and I am thankful it came on the radio a few months ago although I have not heard it since.


While I am 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

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

I'm waiting
I'm waiting on You, Lord
And I am peaceful
I'm waiting on You, Lord
Though it's not easy
But faithfully, I will wait
Yes, I will wait
I will serve You while I'm waiting
I will worship while I'm waiting
I will serve You while I'm waiting
I will worship while I'm waiting
I will serve you while I'm waiting
I will worship while I'm waiting on You, Lord

My Birthday Week in Pictures!

I love my birthday! I look forward to it all year long! Birthdays are just so much fun even when you start getting old. I like to celebrate my birthday for a week because it only comes once a year why would I need to celebrate for just one day? So here is my birthday week in pictures disclaimer some of these pictures were taken with my phone that doesn't take pictures very well.

Liam and I had a bonding time over the computer at work. He loved typing and acting like a big boy!

My birthday week started off with a package in the mail from one of my best friends Jessie! She made this beautiful scarf!  I love getting mail especially when I doesn't involve requesting money.

On my birthday eve I had the privilege to spend it with this handsome man! This is Liam, he turned 3 month on my birthday eve, his mommy is my best friend Jenna. I absolutely love seeing Liam and Jenna almost every day it has been such a treat!

On my birthday I was greeted with many calls and texts from my sweet friends whom I love and miss dearly! I also was greeted with a Pumpkin Spice Latte and a slice of Pumpkin Bread. After a great morning the family and I headed to downtown Cincinnati (the city I was born in 26 years ago)

Everything was decorated for Christmas, it was so pretty!

They were giving out free hugs at Fountain Square!

My brother and I at Fountain Square

Where else would a girl want to go on her birthday? Unfortunately nothing was bought :(

The night of my birthday was my work's Christmas party (I am used to having Christmas parties on my birthday, it's what happens when you are born 9 days before Christmas. I just act like they are my birthday parties too!) This is Jenna and me donning our festive apparel. (Yes we won a prize!)

I continued to celebrate my birthday the next day when I took Roma to see Santa for the first time! She loved it...maybe it was all the treats Santa had.

For years Jenna and I would have sleepovers at her parent's house so why would we change things. Yes, we had a movie night slumber birthday party. It was awesome! They take their movie nights seriously at the Rabinowitz house!

I really had an awesome birthday and I can't thank my friends and family enough for their well wishes! I am so blessed to have so many loving and caring people in my life. I am excited to see what 26 will bring!
