As I sat down to write today's post, I had intended on writing about patience and the recent revelations and advances I've personally made in this virtue/area of my life. But as I was re-reading the words I had just spewed all over my blank HTML page, it became clear to me that I had the wrong focus all along. I didn't need to write about patience, I needed to write about faith!
In my defense, it really was a simple mistake on my part to confuse the two. You see, God has been working in me like none other recently; yet while he's been slowly revealing answers to me (that's where the patience has come in), it has been my faith and trust in Him that has enabled me to so patiently wait for His truths to be made known. Presenting me with tough decisions that require a lot of time, consideration, and prayer to make. Giving us obstacles and hurdles that can only be overcome by sharing the love and faith of our Lord Savior Christ. Even by not answering certain prayers of mine (i.e. winning the lottery or being a contestant on Wheel of Fortune) my faith is ever-growing and always renewed because I know that God knows the desires of my heart--and not just my head--better than I do. So if it's meant to be, it will be. And just because an answer isn't being revealed as quickly as I'd like it to...ahem, a baby...I don't worry. I trust. I know. I believe. God will provide my needs. God will answer all prayers. It just might not be the exact answer and timing I was planning for myself.
That's what faith is all about though, right?
