Patience
Patience is one of life’s hardest lessons and we tend to be taught the same lesson over and over – just have patience. It’s getting a lot harder in today’s world with all of the conveniences we have such as fast food, internet, email, the list goes on and on. We always want something now. Even in our prayers we may ask God for something and subconsciously we follow-up with “..and I want it now.” The first house my husband and I looked at seemed to be ‘the one’ and it all fell through. About four months later we were looking at a MUCH nicer home and never thought it a possibility, but with God everything is possible. Two months ago we bought the beautiful home to now live happily ever after.
Last week I met a wonderful pastor who spoke at our revival. I was talking with him about one of the chapters I was writing and he mentioned getting me in touch with a publishing friend of his. Today I spoke with the publisher and wheels started getting ready to turn. Of course, I have more writing to do and money to come up with. I want to sit down and finish writing the book immediately and get everything done. Problem is, arthritis won’t let me do too much at a time so once again the lesson of patience. It will all come together when it is time ~ God’s time.

Commitment
In writing my book I have found that it seems to get done a little here and there, which is pretty much the way most of our life is. Although, have you noticed how quickly things can get done when the pressure is on? For instance. when the in-laws all of a sudden tell you they’re coming for a visit. It is amazing how quickly the house can get cleaned! Well, possibly if we made a commitment to do a little at a time when we can it wouldn’t get that bad. Not too different than our Spiritual Life and our walk with Jesus. We all need to make that commitment to speak with Him daily and take the time to listen to Him as well. So ~ in summary for today ~ let’s all clean house (both the house we live in and our Spiritual life) and commit to keep it that way.
