Patients.

Patience is the state of endurance under difficult circumstances, which can mean persevering in the face of delay or provocation without acting on annoyance/anger in a negative way; or exhibiting forbearance when under strain, especially when faced with longer-term difficulties. Patience is the level of endurance one can take before negativity. It is also used to refer to the character trait of being steadfast.

For those of you that know me, you know that it's very hard for me to be patient. I can't wait for anything. I always try to get my birthday gifts before my birthday or if I really see something I like I'll ask for it, but always end up getting it myself before my special day. You can't surprise me either I always find the gifts or ruin the surprise. So when it comes to God making me wait or be patient for something, needless to say it kills me. With in the last few weeks I'd have to say that He's really trying to teach me something, and it's definitely waiting and being patient. And we all know they both know that they go hand in hand. This is something that I really need to work on. The whole patients thing wont happen just poof over night either, it gets better with time!! I must say though that I have been doing, okay, well I could be better, but at times it just eats at me. But I am choosing to let Him guide me and teach me, for I know that it's a better ending then anything else. But it always seems that the waiting part goes so slow. I wish I could somehow speed the time up and make it faster, but well I am NOT in control, and I am kind of glad to! I think that I would ruin His great plan. I just need to relax and trust! But with each day it seems hard and harder, trying to keep myself busy and not thinking about what I am waiting on so much and some days it's super easy and other well it seems unbearable.

I always wonder how people with less than me are so trusting, patient, and seem to be more thankful than me at times. But don't get me wrong I am all of those things. But with no home, or food they still have faith and trust that the God they serve will come through! And He always does!! So I leave you on this cold November night with these encouraging words:

Patience reveals our faith in God’s timing, omnipotence, and love. 1Thessalonians 5:14!
