Tonight as I was driving home from my softball game and listening to KSBJ, I heard the song "I Will Wait." This wasn't the first time to hear the song, but this was the first time that it struck a chord with my heart. I realized that I have been worshiping, serving, and praising God conditionally. When life goes well, I willingly worship and serve. When life doesn't go so well, I don't.
Having recognized this tendency within myself, I am now going to consciously choose to serve and worship God even when life does not go as I planned. I am so impatient and I want my plans to happen when I want them to happen.
There seems to be a strange disconnect between my heart and and my head. In my head I know that God will provide, that his timing is perfect. But in my heart, I won't let go of control, or at least what I think is control.
So, as I said before, today I am choosing to worship, choosing to serve. I will do so because whether God follows my plans or not, he is worthy of worship, praise, and service. "While I wait, I will serve you. While I wait, I will worship. Even while I wait."
Turning conditional into unconditional

It's weird... we seem to have similar problems with our heart/head disconnect.
Gee - here I am 47 years of age and I just received such wonderful insight and wisdom from a beautiful young lady! Odd how in textual ways - we are experiencing same thing even though i know our flesh and blood life trials are different. Bottom line hard to trust God when I want pat and sure answers before I jump off into unknown.
