"Bow the Knee"

Having basically...a rough week, month, two months? Too many questions, not enough answers. Feeling very displaced right now. I'm not happy where I'm at. I feel like there's so much more out there for me. I feel like God wants so much more of me than what He's getting. I just am at a loss right now. I feel held back, like I can't go forward. I feel "stuck." I know I am in a waiting period right now. 

I want to find a different job, but need to wait. It's not the best timing due to school and other things going on. I want to move away, but need to wait on school. Maybe I should quit school, eh? :) No, I won't do that. I enjoy it too much and it'll be worth it in the end. 

I never have liked waiting. I think I've cried more the past few weeks since...well, it's been a while. I just hate feeling "stuck." But, really, I'm not stuck. God is trying to teach me how to be content. 

My friend sang this song in church recently and it's constantly on my mind. I know the Lord had her sing it for a reason. Glad I happened to be in town that weekend :)

Bow the Knee

There are moments on our journey following the Lord
Where God illumines ev’ry step we take.
There are times when circumstances make perfect sense to us,
As we try to understand each move He makes.
When the path grows dim and our questions have no answers, turn to Him.

Chorus: 

Bow the knee;
Trust the heart of your Father when the answer goes beyond what you can see.
Bow the knee;
Lift your eyes toward heaven and believe the One who holds eternity.
And when you don’t understand the purpose of His plan,
In the presence of the King, bow the knee.

There are days when clouds surround us, and the rain begins to fall,
The cold and lonely winds won’t cease to blow.
And there seems to be no reason for the suffering we feel;
We are tempted to believe God does not know.
When the storms arise, don’t forget we live by faith and not by sight.

Chorus.

I'm so glad God is there when "the answer goes beyond what you can see."
