What Does Patient Mean?

Where is this year going? Are you kidding me...? It's already April?!?!

The scripture is not playing when it says:

"As for man, his days are like grass,
he flourishes like a flower of the field;
the wind blows over it and it is gone,
and its place remembers it no more."
Psalm 103:15-16 NIV

So anywho...

I love how God continuously shows me so much through my little girl. He speaks to me, through me, as I'm speaking to her. I'm not going to lie - it stings a lot.

Lately I've been trying to teach Trinity about PATIENCE... which is funny because if you know me you know that I have a hard time with being patient or sitting still. Still - I have to teach my daughter.

The other day I told her to be patient and then asked her "what does patient mean?" to which she replied (with an attitude) "To be calm and wait".

Immediately I heard the Father's voice saying to me "be calm and wait".

You see, Trinity was excited to get a lolly pop from our weekly stop at the bank. She was so excited that she could barely hold herself together AND she kept asking me every 5 seconds about the lolly pop AND getting irritated with the cars in front of us because they were not moving fast enough.

I know that I get excited for what God has for me and a lot of times want it RIGHT NOW. How sweet is His reminder "be calm and wait"?

I love Him and His sense of humor!

Waiting Patiently,

A
