Psalm 73:25 – Whom have I in heaven but You? And there is none upon earth that I desire besides You.

Waiting Room
Here in this waiting room yearning for You to say go
And though I'm convinced that a yes would be best
This time You're telling me no

It's not that I don't have an answer
It's just not the one that I'd like
But through this time Lord I must keep in mind
You're always wiser than I

You have a much better purpose
And You have a far greater plan
And You have a bigger perspective
Cause You hold this world in your hands

The things that I seek are from You
Like the strong healing touch of your hand
But when You say no help me trust even though
There's a reason I can't understand

When that miracle comes cause Your answer is yes
I will praise you for all of my days
But when Your wisdom declares that a no is best
I will praise You just the same

94.5% of full-time Christian workers work amongst the evangelised nations
4.8% of full-time Christian workers work amongst the evangelised but resistant
0.7% of full-time Christian workers work amongst the unreached

Just plain statistics are more motivating than the most emotionally strung inspiring speech to me.
Oh, to be sent to the 4/14 window in the 10/40 window. Here I am, God! Your will be done!
Truly God works in mysterious ways. I am dying to go on a missions trip. Dying to serve God in a different culture, and proclaim His news - with a lot of His courage needed! And yet it seems that God is calling unwilling people who don't want to go, and not me. I am waiting on the Lord. And I am hopeful!
Time
Time is too slow for those who wait
Too swift for those who fear
Too long for those who grieve
Too short for those who rejoice
But, for those who love -
Time is eternity.
