Patience, Child.

Every single day of my life the Lord is teaching me the valuable lesson of patience. I've always been too stubborn and anxious and I want everything done now and done right.

I'm learning that sometimes, more often than not, my idea of "right" is not God's idea of "right." And when I want something done as quick as possible, God most likely has better plans for me and my preferred timing is usually much sooner than God's timing.

Patience really is a virtue, as are all the other fruits of the spirit which I strive to attain.

Love
Joy
Peace
Patience
Kindness
Goodness
Faithfulness
Gentleness
Self-Control

As I look back and start to really think...I possess none of these qualities. Not one. And I am disappointed in myself.
