Patience my Child

No one likes to wait, we become impatience, irritated and angry. Huffing and Puffing even through the shortest times, but do we ever realize or even think about the person behind us waiting? Think about how they feel when you take what seems like forever. It's okay for us to have a fit but when others think it's a problem with us. 

When God asks us to be patient and wait for Him, we think that He has forgotten about us. Once again we get impatient and want to do things our way instead of waiting. How do you think God feels when we don't wait on His word? I know it can be hard but we have to do what's right even if it means waiting longer than usual. We have to learn how to be patient in every aspect of our lives, if we want the best. 

I know that i am not the best person, especially when it comes to being patient. I have to pray over and over again and let God handle the situation. It wasn't until recently that i truly learned what this meant. I was the type of person to want things quick fast and in a hurry. I would pray about stuff and when i did see any results i'd do things on my own. I felt like God was ignoring my prayers. But what i didn't realize was that God had something better in mind for me all i had to do was wait. I didn't take a day for me to change, i had to work daily. Work hard to get where i am. There were so many times when i wanted to just cry and do things on my own but i couldn't because i knew that God had it under control. That's when my faith started to grow. That's when i truly started to understand what God had in store for my life. I knew that i had to follow his will in order to live the life that i wanted. Even though i am still struggling i will not give up. I will continue to have patience and allow my faith to grow.

Patience my child, it will only last awhile

Hold on to hope and just sit on down

Let God handle the situation, as He sees best

Reserve your strength and get some rest

Patience my child, it will only last awhile

Wipe those tears and show off your style

He knows your problems, He's heard your cry

Let your fear and your worries go, it's time to say goodbye

Patience my child, it will only last awhile

Don't let that frown ruin your beauty, just smile

Allow God to use you, blessing others on your journey

Just stop and look around, there is no need to hurry

Be renewed

If you are weak in faith, in mind, in body, in discipline, in self-control, or in determination, simply wait on God. He will be strong through your weakness.

Isaiah 40:31 teaches that if you expect God, look for Him, and hope in Him, you will change and renew your strength and power; you will run, and not faint or become tired. The Bible doesn't say "hope so, it could be, or it may be"; it declares that you will be renewed.

Reason, Season, or Lifetime

People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime.

When you figure out which one it is,
you will know what to do for each person.

When someone is in your life for a REASON,
it is usually to meet a need you have expressed.
They have come to assist you through a difficulty;
to provide you with guidance and support;
to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually.
They may seem like a godsend, and they are.
They are there for the reason you need them to be.

Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time,
this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end.
Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away.
Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand.
What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled; their work is done.
The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.

Some people come into your life for a SEASON,
because your turn has come to share, grow or learn.
They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh.
They may teach you something you have never done.
They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy.
Believe it. It is real. But only for a season.

LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons;
things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation.
Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person,
and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life.
It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.
