Waiting

The weekend is here!  I'm probably not going to make a habit of posting on Saturdays, but since my DH is gone and I'm not working as hard as I would be if he were here, I thought I'd post while I was at the computer taking a brain break.

I've been reading here, reading there; trying to figure out this whole blogging thing and have had quite a few ideas be sparked to use for this devotional style of blog.  I have loved reading A Holy Experience and been inspired by Ann's writings.  I feel like a long-lost twin to Kat at Inspired to ACTion with her love for the Lord and for music AND for getting people to DO something. 

I know I've only posted personal stuff so far, but I'm not sure where to start.  I've got many ideas I'd like to do; series I'd like to start, posts I'd like to link to.  I could just dive in.  I know I could - no, I should - just start SOMEWHERE. 


But I also don't know how deep the water is.  I don't know if there are rocks underneath I can't see from here.  I don't know what....to....write....about. 

And so I'm waiting.  Waiting on the Lord. 

Waiting for a clear direction in which way to go on this crazy bloggin' ride.  I'm wading through the waters beforehand to get an idea if it's safe to jump.

It doesn't help that I want to create a path of my own, to find my own unique voice in this bogged down platform.  But it feels like the grass is matted down from so many having gone before.  It's hard making a NEW path in the midst of matted down-ness. 

And so I wait.

Psalms 130:5
I wait for the LORD, my soul waits, and in his word I put my hope.
