God has been teaching me a ton about patience lately. I never want to be patient. I don't like being patient. I like to jump the gun. I like to rush. I like to speed walk to class. I like to get angry too fast. God is teaching me how to listen and be patient and sometimes that is really hard. I don't want to be patient most of the time. I am learning that it doesn't matter if things happen now or later if they are meant to happen they will happen. Knowing all of this, I still tend to rush and push for things. I want to be in the school of education sooooooooo bad. I just want to be a teacher gosh darnit but God is telling me to be patient and let Him lead the way, and if it is in His will, it will be done. This has really spoken a lot of truth with me in a lot of things this year. I can be patient in all situations whether they be my relationships with people, school, or various other things. God has been reluctant to just hand something to me which can be frustrating but it is continuing to show me how to be content with living, just living, and not expecting God to hand me things I want right away because man do I want a lot of things right now. We all want things in life, of course, why wouldn't we, things in life are great but if we jump the gun too soon they will probably be less meaningful than if we wait for them. If we wait and be patient for things then they will be so much stronger. God is continuing to show me how I can be patient and how I can pray for other peoples' patience as well. It is so cool that I can pray for other people to be patient as well as myself. I ask God every day to slow me down and show me that I can be content. It is hard, let me tell ya, but it is so worth it. I have been able to walk slowly, love people well, and listen well, when it has been needed most. God gives me patience and comfort, and I really like that.
