The Wait

I've never been good at waiting, in fact I think I've heard and recited the words, "patience is a virtue," more times in my life than I truly care to admit.  I've tried patiently waiting for the answer on achieving patience, I've even gone as far as attending classes!  One that I can recall quite vividly was titled, "What to do in the Wait"  I believe that same day I attended, "God I'm Listening, Now What?"  Both touched me in ways I never thought possible, but also didn't entirely help me at the time.  It's funny when you learn about patience and then have to be patient for the lesson to hit home

 WOW... Jeremiah decided that he would go Archery hunting by HIMSELF this week.  He's promised to call EVERY night and told me to worry when he didn't... Well he hasn't called tonight!! Clearly I'm currently freaking out!  I tell Korvin, "mommy is worried about Dad."  His reply, "I know Mom, but Jesus is ALWAYS with you."  Did I mention he's four and sometimes far wiser than myself.  We sometimes have a hard time trusting in God's plan, I know that I especially struggle with this as I'm sure most of us do.  Korvin couldn't be more right, Jesus is with Jeremiah and I need to settle in for a wait that is killing me all the while FULLY trusting in God.  If anybody could have said anything better to me at the time, I can't think of what it would be.. once again the faith of a child!
So what of the classes?  They both taught that you have to trust God and NEVER give up on him, even when you are at your lowest of lows and there seems to be no end in sight, you have to continue to praise and trust that God is doing everything for a reason! New message?  Probably not, but still life changing!
