Learning to Wait...

Patience is a virtue.

Ever heard of that phrase? Waiting and patience go hand in hand. And quite frankly, sometimes waiting sucks.

I have never been much a long-term planner. But if I have a time limit and tasks ahead of me, I can schedule and work and get things done on time... that's short-term planning though. My mind is slowly shifting to the other side recently, maybe because I am being forced to think about such things. This urge to jump on top of things, sort things out, map, plan, talk, discuss, lay everything out on the table has been immanent for some time now. But yet every time I get worked up on the issue, I hear this voice saying, "Not now. Just wait. It will all work out." Besides, it is honestly not in my hands anyway. I gave it away to two people to take care of.

So here I sit, twiddling my thumbs, focusing on what lies directly in front of me, trusting that things will happen accordingly to His plan and timing, and trying to keep my tongue motionless in my mouth.

If patience is a virtue, God is grooming me into a virtuous woman. .... and I am completely okay with that!
