But patience is a virtue I don't have.
Heard a wonderful sermon on Sunday, not that there's any sermon that has not been wonderful, but this week's one really spoke to me.
It was about Nehemiah, a man who dares to weep, who can wait for God to action, and who works for the people despite his position as a cup-bearer (direct reporting line to the king, of course, he has to be the "guinea pig").
This teaches us not to be impatient and work / do things ahead of God even though He has show us the way or granted us what we prayed for.
A lot of times, we pray to ask for directions, purpose in life, ask for blessings, but we fail to do one thing above all, to exhalt Him, and thank him for the wonderful things that He has given.
My friend told me today that I'm looking a bit different from previous times that she had seen me. She said that I looked more relaxed and less stress. That may have been it. I've finally gone to church to make things right with my God, confessing and letting Him lead the way.
He has shown me that without patience, my efforts will not bear fruits. I was telling my friends today that just when I had accepted a new job offer, my property sale bore fruit. Well, I didn't wait. The fortune teller lady had already told me, three times she said, "In your line you have to be patient, the money will definitely come in."
"Hey, what is this?", you may think. "You believe in God, but you went to read your fortune??"
Yes, I'm a bad girl. Have been, and always will be. I am impatient and want to know things ahead of my time.
Once again, patience is not one of my virtues.
