Ah... patience is a virtue, right? That's what you hear at least, but what does that reeeally mean? If you're patient, you'll get virtue? Virtue is described as moral excellence, goodness, righteousness, etc. But how long do we wait and be patient?
Sometimes it feels like forever, when it's really only been two weeks. Ha! Ah, to be a girl... I've been trying so hard to be patient and let God take the reins in this life of mine. I feel like He definitely has the reins, but sometimes I want to know too soon and just can't wait to find stuff out. This includes my career, where I'm living at the moment and of course - guys. I feel like I'm doing pretty good with trying not to think about it (not just guys, but everything), but I feel too like if I don't think about it, how can I be prepared for anything? What am I preparing for? I should know I'm fine and safe with God...
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you," declares the Lord, "and will bring you back from captivity." Jeremiah 29:11-14
Some days it gets hard - being patient. You want to take things into your own hands. I think when we turn to God and hand it all over to Him, that is the most uplifting and honorable thing to do. We have to have trust in Him and let Him lead this life, that He's made for us. <3
