Patience...The Struggle Is Real

One trait I am still struggling with since the Good Lord chose to save my soul is my patience.  

My dear mother once told me that my impatience would be my down fall.  And, here I am seven years into my new Christian life and my patience problems are as bad as they ever were.

My Uncle Keni told me once that just because I became saved, that I would not become perfect.  That I was still mortal, and human, and had all the flaws that went with being such. 

I guess essentially I will always be a work in progress---it is how I progress that is the most important part.  

Do I think I will ever overcome my impatience with situations?  In all honestly probably not.  But, I can honestly say that I try each day to handle them better than the day before.

There are plenty of days where my impatience gets the better of me.  On those days I just take a moment, breathe, and try to remember that everything happens in the Good Lord's time.  He will not be rushed, no matter how impatient I may get.  He knows what I need, when I need it, and will provide when necessary.  

In the end it is this faith, and His love for my well being, that gets me through those impatient times.  

And for that, I feel truly blessed :)
