I Will Worship...While I'm Waiting

Gravel took a turn in the wrong direction yesterday morning. Since her pneumonia was worse, the doctor decided to do a bronchioscopy (sp?). This meant that they would put her under general anesthesia and remove some of the fluid from her lungs. This is when the doctor realized that one of her lungs had collapsed. He removed almost a liter of fluid from her lungs. She was put on a breathing machine but was doing pretty good. I was in to see her around 4 yesterday afternoon and her heartrate shot up from about 72 to 135 in about 30 seconds. They asked me to leave the room. They did an EKG and had to give her a drug through her IV to slow her heartrate. The first dose did not work so they had to give her a second dose. After the second dose, her heartrate slowed. Her blood pressure is still an issue. Gravel has high blood pressure, and since her lung had collapsed yesterday, they could not give her her blood pressure medicine. So this is why her blood pressure was high. They were able to give it to her yesterday afternoon so maybe it will start leveling off...
Things aren't good. But I'll worship while I wait...

While I Wait

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

Hang in there Kendra, and be strong. That song is one of my favorites and it's a very powerful message. Sometimes when it seems God isn't listening, all we can do is worship while we are waiting.
