Patience

So, I always think it's great when people are like, yeah, God's taking me through a season of patience. I think God has had to take me through multiple seasons of patience because I never quite got what it was about. Ha ha

Well, lately, I had been in a season of patience. It was one of the hardest, yet easiest ones that I have ever had to go through.

At the beginning of the year, I didn't make "New Year's Resolutions," but I did make some promises to God. I think that's more powerful anyway. A few of them were to get into a healthier state physically, take more risks, to just be open to whatever God wanted for me, and all that good stuff. I was finally to the point in my life where I was content where God had me and so I was joyful all the time. I was able to take things in stride and just be patient. Not doing anything unless God told me to on certain issues.

Then came the testing. Ha ha God was pretty much like, if you want this to happen, then you are going to have to let go. Not the way that you usually handle things, but let Me handle things. So, I'm like, okay God, whatever You say. So, I took my hands off of a situation that started out to be not so difficult to take my hands off of. I was tempted to do/say some things during this season, but God would always check me and tell me no. So, I obeyed. I am so happy that I did. I admit that this past week was probably the hardest, but it's always the hardest right before things turn around.

All I gotta say is that it pays to be patient and to truly take your hands off and let God do His thing. It's turned out way better than I could have ever expected. If you have seen my myspace/facebook status, then you probably know what this is about, but I tell you. When you let God do it and it's done right.......it's amazing! :)

Amilo tutto! (What language is this? Do you know what it says?)
