I seem to have spent all my life waiting,
preparing for what's in store.
Everything I do is 'in preparation for' something
But I'm not sure what I'm waiting for.
What is it I am trying to achieve,
For what purpose am I storing away,
And why am I working so hard to learn all I can,
Why am I where I am today?
Is where I am where I should be,
Does my life start right now or later?
Am I in place to do 'my thing' for God?
Or is there something far greater?
Should I assume that I am where I am,
Putting my all into living this day?
Or should I keep checking that there's not something else?
Does God's plan show a different way?
Will I ever stop waiting for the next big thing?
Does this method need correcting?
Am I dissatisfied because there is more,
Or because I am used to expecting?
If I choose to ignore the nagging inside
Am I blocking the voice of the Lord?
Or am I teaching myself to live for today
Because its my habit to want more?

Me again (!), personally, I'm waiting for the next big thing, I feel like I'm in the waiting room and keep waiting for the call.
I think 'when this happens....' 'when that happens....' then, then??
Then what?
Totally! That is precisely what I was trying to say with the poem but never quite managed it. I worry that I a always going to be waiting for the next big thing. Then something will come along and I'll think, 'This is it, this is what I have been waiting for. Now my life can really begin', but then whan it happens, I will get used to doing that and start waiting for something else again. What's worse, is that I don't know whether that's how its supposed to be, or whether that is an attitude I should be trying to change!
Might blog about it!
