Patience

OK, so maybe I can't be the cool parent. Thanks for the advice Jen and Clara. I will continue to pray for them, with them, and over them while they sleep. I just don't want to fail as a parent! It is getting harder and harder with all the distractions to be the parent I really want to be. So much gets in the way.

We have been studying Genesis and I am really seeing one constant that amazes me. The fact that everyone has unbelievable patience, they endure, they persevere, and their faith is 2nd to none. In this instant society and times in which we live, this is very intriguing to me. It took Noah 120 years to build the ark, and it had never rained before. Abraham was going to sacrifice his only son. Joseph went from an abandoned brother sold into slavery to the 2nd in command of all of Egypt, answering only to Pharaoh. All because they trusted God, walked with Him, and He found favour in them.

All throughout the Bible we see examples of this and it is a wake up call to me. I desire to be more patient and wait on God to reveal His perfect plan, I want to be used by God, but I sometimes have a hard time waiting on Him to prepare the way. Do you ever find yourselves in this situation? God never fails and His plan is perfect, I just have to hold myself back sometimes and be still and know that He is God. Just like with the parenting I am sure it will all workout, its just the unknown that I struggle with. I have to let go and let God!

Have a Blessed Day!!!
