The Waiting Game

I am not what one would consider to be a patient person. Latly, this is a character that the Lord is sharpening in me, and I would have to say that it is really trying. (DUH right).

First there is this school thing. I want the teaching degree, and believe that the Lord has given me everything that I need to obtain it, but this semester beginning just reminds me of how much hard work this is going to be. And how long i am going to have to wait until I see the fruit of my labor.

Now, it has been decided that Eliza will be attending ICA, a private school in West Des Moines. This is such a blessing in so many ways, and I am so excited for Eliza. But it does not start until next fall.

OK, now I am the type of person who is all about results. I want to get things done...NOW. But as you can see there are so amny details in life that I am having to sit and wait on, and it is driving me a bit nuts.

I know that deferred gratification is a good thing, and that it yeilds much more in life than instant gratification. But I can also tell you that my brain is tender from having to slam on the brakes of my brain so many times a day.

Be still my soul. Wait and see what the Lord is doing. Rest on the words your Lord have written in you heart.

Psalms 27:13&14

13 I am still confident of this:
I will see the goodness of the LORD
in the land of the living.

14 Wait for the LORD;
be strong and take heart
and wait for the LORD.
