"In The Meantime"

Never before do I remember a song that has touched me as this one does. A song that directly reflects what I am going through and what I am thinking as though it was written for me and not for anyone else.
I know my feelings are not unique, but it is comforting to have them put in words that solidifies that what I am feeling is real.
I can't find more than this soundbite anywhere, but here is a bit, and here are the lyrics.

In her heart she holds the dreams,
That she's carried since the day she turned thirteen.
Of all that she would be when she was grown,
Of all that she would do when she was finally on her own.
She dreams she flies,
She's still waiting for the chance to try...

But in the meantime she's a mother and a daughter and a wife.
Doing all she can to stay above the daily grind.
And she wonders when she'll ever have more meaning in her life,
She doesn't know she's being molded and refined,
In the meantime.

Someday she'll go back to school.
When the car pools and the soccer games are through.
Cause deep inside she's still the girl,
Whoe's always felt the fight to make a difference in the world.
She dreams she'll soar,
When she finally has the time to do more...

But in the meantime she's a sister and a teacher and a friend.
Hours turn into days, that turn to years that never end.
And she wonders when she'll ever really find herself again,
She's becoming one on whom God can depend,
In the meantime.

Heaven feels the joy of every victory in her life,
and heaven hears her heart before she cries.
Somewhere in the middle of the triumphs and the trials,
She's becoming sanctified.

In the meantime she's an answer and a blessing and a gift,
to every empty, aching heart that only she can lift.
Still she wonders if she'll ever get to see where heaven is,
If she could only see the mansion waiting there.
If she could only feel how much her father cares.
She would know she's being perfectly prepared,
In the meantime.

I was speaking with a dear friend last night about all the inner thoughts of a mother and wife who is trying to do her best and she mentioned that she had heard a speaker recently who spoke on "Why we do, what we do". For me this song is a strong reminder of just that, why I do what I do.

In my meantime it is comforting to rely on the knowledge that I am becoming more as he intended me to be. I am being molded, refined and sanctified. All the boring aspects of life day in and day out are teaching me...

I was also reminded again during this conversation of the knowledge that when my responsiblities wear on me, when I feel hopeless, overwhelmed or not equal to the task of raising his choice children, all I need to do is remember that he has already deemed me equal to the task; he has deemed me, enough.....
