Waiting Here for You

This afternoon it was fairly quiet in my house...(as quiet as it gets around here I guess ;)). I was getting Jossalyn down for her afternoon nap, Caden and Jaxon were playing nicely in the playroom and a 2 year old friend was napping in the boys room. (Camron was at the water park with a buddy). All of a sudden, the house began to shake. At first I thought it was Air Force 1 doing their practice run. But it lasted longer than that normally does. Then I thought it sounded like a tornado was coming. It wasn't until a few minutes later when my Mom called that I realized we had felt tremors from an earthquake that occurred in Virginia. An earthquake? On the east coast? Apparently not so unheard of based on history but not normal as far as I'm concerned!
I rarely watch the news. I rarely watch much TV period these days. But of course I tuned in. The news was covering 2 main stories, the problems in the Middle East and the 5.9 earthquake felt on the majority of the east coast!
Once Camron came home, the boys asked me lots of questions about the earthquake and we began discussing Jesus' return.
*****Fast forward to hours later when the kids and I were on our way home from grocery shopping*****
The song Waiting Here For You, by Christy Nockels came on. I really enjoy this song. It gives me goose bumps. The chorus says,

Waiting here for You

With our hands lifted high in praise

And it's You, we adore

Singing Alleluia

I couldn't help but think about my earlier conversation with my boys as I look in the back seat and they are all singing along.
This is how we should be.
Waiting with hands lifted high.
Jesus is coming back again.
It could be sooner, rather than later.
Are you ready?
