That's what God whispered to me yesterday... it's a lesson I know He's been teaching me for a while now, more clearly the past couple weeks, and last night He just came out and said it..... and I needed to hear it.
I've been really good at being patient about the future in general, knowing that God has it all in His hands and therefore I have no reason to worry or be anxious... but what I have now learned about myself is that as soon as God gives me a little taste of what the specifics might look like, I immediately throw all patience to the wind and find myself screaming "HURRY UP!!" Like Veruca Salt, "I want it NOW"
Not only do I lack patience, but I start trying to make it happen myself, working hard and at the end of the day feeling as though all that work is in vain, most likely because it is...
...So that's the kind of patience that God is now teaching me, how to trust Him not only to decide what's going to happen in my life, but to walk me there as well... at a slower pace than I might want. It's not going to happen all at once, but daily He will lead me closer and closer to the things He has in store for me. My job is to trust Him, every day, and live in the moment that He has put me in.
Patience, child, just have patience.

Grace Kelly
Grace Kelly is one of the most beautiful women who has ever lived. My mom has often been told she looks like Grace Kelly and I must agree, especially the last one. Anyway, these are some of my favorite pictures of her.

new every morning.
who am I?
-
I belong to Jesus. He created me before the world began with a purpose my mind can't fully understand. He allowed me my first breath roughly 25 years ago, and he's been faithfully pursuing and capturing my heart each day since. This is intended to be a place to flesh through the journey I am on to pursue him.
