Slept in late today, answered a phone call, climbed back in bed and cried for a while, put on my running shoes, ran 8 miles, felt a lot better, kissed my hubby, then got on with the day. Every time I turn around it seems like plans are combusting before my eyes. I started feeling sorry for myself, hence the blankets over my head & tears. So, I got back up & decided to make the best of what is now... that's all there is. My plans, obviously, are not what the Lord has in mind. I told myself, "I am going to trust He knows what He is doing, I will have faith that He is preparing a place, job, etc... be that in Zanesville, KC, PA, or 1/2 way around the world. I have prayed for patience my entire life... unfortunately, I tend to learn the hard way. I still don't understand why He can't just give it to me. Oh, is that what He's doing when those trials come? Well, on second thought can I PLEASE just live with my IMPATIENCE!
