Patience

I used to be very patient. Well, I've been through phases of varying degrees of patience but I'm coming out of a very patient time and entering into one of less patience...and I need to get back. For the past few years I was the most patient and easy going guy I'd ever known (pat self on back). Lately, though, I want everything to happen at that very moment.

I pray everyday (multiple times a day), like always, and ask God for whatever it is I want or think needs to happen but, instead of waiting for His answer, I get it in my head that I need to go out and make it happen (or see what's going on) without God. The vast majority of the time it would have worked out just fine if I'd waited (even a few hours) and all would have been good. Instead, I stuck my hand in there and stirred things up that didn't need to be, which can lead to unwanted and unneeded stress itself.

The grammar isn't the best here and I'm sorry about that. It's late and I just wanted to get this down before I forgot about it. Maybe I'll touch it up later. Or, more likely, maybe not. Time for bed.
