I think God is trying to tell me something about being patient. There are a few things going on in our lives right now and all them require patients! Hmmm...
Yep, teaching me patients!
My husband has been looking for permanent full time employment for about 2 years now. It hasn't been easy, more so for him than me. I'm content where we are, partially because I love my job and I don't really want to leave it and I love the area we live in. But at the same time I am not content because it sure would be nice to know where we are going to end up and live for a longer period of time, probably...and so we get steady income and better income for that matter. Well, my husband applied for a job a couple days ago. Every time he tells me he applied for a job, we get all excited about it (especially one that we THINK he is REALLY qualified for!) and think something will actually happen with this one! Well, that has happened to us a could number of times, needless to say nothing great has come out of it, obviously, otherwise I wouldn't be writing about this. Well, we both find ourselves this week with the same feelings we have every time this happens. We CAN'T wait to hear something!!! We are so IMPATIENT!
Then, there are other opportunities that we face and I just think...ah I wish time would fly by so I know what God wants for us! Well, it doesn't work that way does it?! NOPE! Again, I'm impatient!
God is teaching me to be patient is BIG THINGS, like my husbands job & our living situation. And God is teaching me to be patient is small things (a opportunity I am exploring for a hobby). And I'm realizing that God cares about those, big or small, important or non important. God knows all and He knows we get impatient about the littlest things...
But He also teaches us things through those things. For me, yeah, I'm learning just play SLOW DOWN KELLY!!!! I tend to get excited about something and I just RUN with it!!!!!!! and FAST!!! I can't do that right now, because things are holding me up, but I know there is a reason why things are holding me up, its God. He wants me to just slow down and research and take it easy...because He has our best interest in mind! And I feel at peace just knowing that!!
Lord Jesus, I know I am not done with this one. I know you are still teaching me and having me process this one through! I pray that you continue to show me what you are showing me through being patient. I thank you for this opportunity that you have set before us, that we can lean on you and trust you to bring us to the next place you have for us. May you give us both peace and continued patients in this all.
