Your nutshell sermons are very decisive and meaningful for me cause we’re the same age and have had major changes and direct in my life…not whether Jesus is here ..or His peace is sustaining us cause I learned these early on as a Christian.. death is finality and when it happens we need to process our relationship…missed.. grief…relief.. birth is also a major step by bringing a new person into this . world…caring ..raising…teaching. .. these are the 2 ..major things we all have days and bad days our choices are occupation…living and learning space ✨️…my doctor is 10 years my senior and traveling the world so he can have the memories when he’s retired!! We all do what we want and it’s I important to have a partnership with people who like the same…I believe in the bucket list……have a purpose for where we’re now through God’s grace…
Those moments alone, are the moments we are out true selves. Then I’d look inward and the real questions hit, why would God want to save me. I’ve made a mess of it. I guess I need to sit in the dark a bit more.
And yeah watch people die that are my age or there abouts is quite sobering. Living on borrowed time they say…
I wish I could get more people to listen to this one.. I replayed it to myself about five times this week.. cause with my brother’s massive heart attack .. I was back to waiting again.. for good news.. he’s doin good but he’ll need six weeks of recovery work
This sermon and song truly has perfect timing it hits spot on thank you so much for sharing your work of kive truly dies come shinning through. Be Blessed my friend!
I’m glad to hear your brother it’s okay. Will pray for his rehab, that it goes well and he can get to feeling himself again. When I thought of waiting, I thought of waiting in line at Disneyland and all the amusement parks. Can’t wait like I used to, cuz standing in line for me is a little painful now. My thighs numb up, but I get through it.
But like you, seeing people my age passing away, especially people I’ve known for a long time, is something I’m seeing more. There are still some of my mentors who are still alive, but now they’re heading Home, too.
I looked up the definition of waiting/wait. It says to allow time to go by, especially while staying in one place without doing very much, until someone comes, until something that you are expecting happens or until you can do something.
I’m picturing you on the porch waiting, not doing much until you heard from God.
Psalm 27:14 Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord! That’s what we’re supposed to do. It’s hard waiting sometimes without squirming and getting anxious. But thanks for your words and thoughts. I will have to go listen to the song now.
Again, praying that your brother is even stronger as he works his way back.
Bryan this was beautiful. Of all the Christian artists I’ve listened to over the years, I’ve always tried to figure out why I’m drawn to your music over all the others. When I first started playing your records I was a baby Christian at the time and your songs did minister to me more than you’ll ever know. Now as I get older I think it’s because I can relate to you on another level, when you share the personal thoughts and struggles you have, I am always saying ‘Hey! Bryan feels that way too? Or I’m saying ‘Wow! I cannot believe Bryan Duncan struggles with that! ‘Does he realize who he is?’
Sometimes I’m scratching my head trying to figure out how you can have imperfections, then I have the remind myself that as much as I don’t want to believe it or accept it, you too struggle with the same struggles and even sins that I do. That’s hard to comprehend sometimes since I’ve always put you on a very high pedestal, probably too high. Thanks for sharing your deepest hurts and thoughts, even when it’s not easy to do, it only makes me respect you more
I went through the Psalms once and underlined every time I saw the word waiting. I didn’t tally it up at the end but it was an awful lot! I wonder if we have to wait so much because His timing is so different than ours. We get tired of waiting and then we rush ahead and then God must recalibrate us…it’s a thought anyway.
This “sermon” is the most serious I’ve ever heard you be. You’ve been through a lot, and vicariously, I’m so glad you’ve ended up where you are now! There’s a lot of introspection in your tale, and that stuff is hard to do, if you’re gonna be honest with yourself. Praise God for your faith and for God’s saving grace.
I feel this, because I’ve been in a waiting place, too. I don’t like this waiting- I’m wondering if I’m supposed to take some step, confess some sin I haven’t dredged up yet…
But for now, I do the next thing, and pray about it all.
Thank you for sharing. Now I’m going to go listen to the song again.
happy to be encouraging .. I was a little different this week because of the nature of the song.. and in some situations I was writing a song in some real uncomfortable places.. Like this one and me ‘not where I wanted to be’ thanks Val I appreciate yer feedback
I am binging nutjob winding down to get to sleep, take that as you might, and, oh, doing also finishing a vid for you. Good you hear your voice and your ever deeper and broader insights.
