Patience is a willingness, in a sense, to watch the unfolding purposes of God with a sense of wonder and awe, rather pacing up and down within the cell of our circumstance. ~Neal A. Maxwell
I struggle with patience.
And to compound the problem, I get impatient while working towards patience.
I like predictability, I like matching, I like knowing.
And the unknown frustrates me because I do not know how to act or what to expect.
Sometimes I get concerned by how little I know.
I make so many mistakes.
But I do not want to let my life go un-lived.
So I keep living.
Fortunately,
Even in the messy, even in the tangled, even in the hectic
God sees beauty.
He creates patterns in my life.
He brings order and perspective.
When I remember to remember that, I know every thing is going to be okay.
It's a beautiful life.
