6'2

"The only thing worse than waiting on the Lord is wishing you had waited."

That's my little "nugget" from church Sunday. Waiting is hard. Really hard. But we are reminded repeatedly that it will be worth the wait, if you trust in the Lord and his perfect timing. I know in my heart that the Lord has called me to be a wife (and mother), but I'm just not quite sure where and when I will meet my husband. For now though, I have hope, prayer, and patience. {A favorite quote} "It's hard to wait around for something you know may never happen, but it's even harder when you know it's everything you want." Thanks to Sirius, I discovered another song that takes the words right out of my heart.

6'2

Marie Miller

Lord I've been prayin'
For somebody I've never seen
And I don't care what he looks like
As long as he loves me
No, I'm not particular

But could he have blue eyes
Just like the sky
And blonde hair
Wavy and light
And 6 foot 2 is my favorite height
But Lord, I don't care what he looks like.

I've been gettin' so lonesome
Waiting for him to come around.
But if you're teaching me patience
I'm willing to wait this one out.
I'll be patient.

But could we meet by
The first of July
So he'll hold my hand
As they light up the sky
And marry me on an April night
But Lord take your sweet, sweet time

Whatever you want
Is whatever I want
I'm not particular

So if he has green eyes
That would be fine
Or brown hair
That's quite alright
Now 6 foot 2 is my favorite height
But Lord, I don't care

And could we meet by
The first of July
So he'll hold my hand
As they light up the sky
And marry me oh marry me
Marry me on an April night

But Lord, take your sweet, sweet time.
And Lord, I don't care what he looks like.

Could we meet by the first of July so he'll hold
my hand as they light up the sky ♥

Come to Jesus

God, I need you now

Leave it all behind, and come to the well.

I simply love Casting Crowns - the music, the lyrics, the harmonies, the band members as individuals and their integrity. Seriously, they make my all-time favorite music artist list. There is not one single song I don't like, and I love most of them. This one has a beautiful message - so simple, so powerful, such truth.

The Well
Casting Crowns

Leave it all behind,
Leave it all behind,
Leave it all behind,
Leave it all behind,

I have what you need,
But you keep on searchin',
I've done all the work,
But you keep on workin',
When you're runnin' on empty,
And you can't find the remedy,
Just come to the well.

You can spend your whole life,
Chasin' what's missing,
But that empty inside,
It just ain't gonna listen.
When nothing can satisfy,
And the world leaves you high and dry,
Just come to the well.

And all who thirst will thirst no more,
And all who search will find what their souls long for,
The world will try, but it can never fill,
So leave it all behind, and come to the well

So bring me your heart
No matter how broken,
Just come as you are,
When your last prayer is spoken,
Just rest in my arms a while,
You'll feel the change my child,
When you come to the well.

The world will try, but it can never fill...leave it all behind

And now that you're full,
Of love beyond measure,
Your joy's gonna flow,
Like a stream in the desert,
Soon all the world will see that living water is found in me,
'Cause you came to the well.
