Patience

I hate waiting.  I'm not very patient especially when I'm wanting something to happen.  When talking to my Grandma about waiting and patience, she asked me if I had asked God for the ability to be patient recently?  I don't know what God is doing at the moment or what's going to happen, but I can say this - that it is SO hard waiting.  I wish that God would just show us sometimes.  That on the odd occasion, he would show us what he's doing and WHY he's doing it.

Hope your week is going well :)

The ever waiting,

A Taste Of Our Own Medicine

Every now and again, I go back and read through old journals and this blog.  Sometimes it's hilarious - especially the ones from primary school and Intermediate.  It's all 'I love so and so because he's so dreamy' or 'I think so and so likes me because he sat next to me today in class.'  But then I read the stuff in journals from the past couple of years and boy oh boy do they hit me.  I read these entries that I wrote 1 or 2 years ago and God just pulls out all that he wants me to see.  They speak to me SO much, it's incredible.  I love it how God can use the things that we write or say to encourage others, to encourage our own selves several years later.  To me, that just proves that he has everything planned out.  I try not to ask why or how because that will just lead to confusion, but I do trust.

Listen to the song 'It Is Well' by The Ember days.  It's one that really speaks to me and brings peace to me every time I hear it.  You can also download it for free here.  The rest of the EP is amazing as well, so you may as well download the rest of the songs.  And don't worry, it's all legal :P

Anyway, God is good and that in its self is awesome.

God Bless
