patience

patience...its something i think a lot of us struggle with, moreso in certain situations than others. right now God is teachingme patience of a new kind...i don't like waiting...period, waiting in line, for food, in traffic, to go on a ride...waiting is just no fun...sometimes if it catches me on a good day, i dont mind, i use the time to sort thoughts out and pray and so on...but waiting in general can make a person go crazy...if we dont let go...and let God in and let Him handle it. we can wait and wait for something and if it isnt Gods timing, it wont happen, not until that perfect moment God has set aside for it. im slowly learning that waiting can be a good thing. its brought me a lot closer to God, to family, to nate, to friends. waiting, patience...i have waited over 3 months fo rnate and now today seems to have just literally dragged, just waiting for that call..."im home" my mind is totally wrapped around that moment, and it hasnt even happened yet. in an effort to totally get my mind off of this...and due to not feeling so well i took nyquil...which will hopefully let me get a full 8 hours of sleep, instead of the 2 or 3 i have been getting. Here are 2 verses i have been praying over and reflecting in...

Habakkuk 2:3 For the revelation awaits an appointed time;
it speaks of the end
and will not prove false.
Though it linger, wait for it;
it will certainly come and will not delay.

Psalm 62:2 He alone is my rock and my salvation;
he is my fortress, I will never be shaken.
