Patience....

Today I had lunch with some of my discipleship girls before they head back to all their schools. We were talking about 2009 what we felt like God showed us, how we have changed and what we are looking forward to in 2010. Looking back over the past year is something I really look forward to. I love journaling and love re-reading my journals.... you gotta love the journey as well as the destination!

I've discovered God has done some great things and is also taking His sweet time with some stuff. Over the past 8 or so months I feel like God has been asking me to be patient about a lot of stuff... most days I'm okay with this, I know He provides! Lately though I feel like my motto is.... I'm tired of waiting for patience, give it to me already and lets move on! I realize this motto means that I'm in desperate need of it... but seriously lets get it and get going.

I have seen some really great things begin to change for me as I've waited for a long time for God to develop some fun heart characteristics in me. Surprisingly as I ask for more patience... I realize I am a LONG way off from where I was and that my patience level has grown. He has also softened my heart for growth in communication. I told the girls today that I really am longing for God to begin to change my poor communication skills... I have a hard time actually expressing what I want to say in a time of crisis and I am excited about really taking a closer look at this.

Patience will come guess I just have to be patient until it does .... hahaahahahahahaha
