Sometimes - very, very occasionally - I feel like this song was written for me.
Today is one of those days, and I don't really know why. It just is. None of my circumstance is different from yesterday, but my mindset has turned a corner. It's just not a good corner.
Or...maybe it is.
Last night Diane & I were at Collide, basically a first-week-of-the-month meeting of all the life groups in our church. After worshipping through song & word for an hour or so (and, gotta say, it's SO great to be back in a worship team - it's home) we split into groups of 4 or 5 and prayed for each other. The group I joined up with were people I didn't know especially well yet, so it was a little quiet at first, but then words started to flow.
But they weren't just words, they were prophecy. Things said that were too specifically just for me without the Holy Spirit intervening.
And now, 20 hrs later, I'm impatient that nothing's happened yet. WHAT?!?
For someone who jokes about patience being one of my spiritual gifts, I am feeling unsettled about how little patience I have right now. I guess I'm feeling we've done our share of waiting, of hanging on, of stepping out, of cleansing, of change. But there's more to go and I want it to happen.
Then...three hours go by between when I start writing this post and when I finish it...in that time I've been stuck in traffic caused by road closures due to a fatal accident.
And perspective is restored. A good corner has been turned.
