Hey Sarah–I meant to comment yesterday, but I decided to be patient and wait a day–or was that procrastinating?

Listening to God–sometimes I need to be patient enough to do that. Great reminder.

Dang. One thing about reading all these posts on patience is — I learn a lot and am challenged to let go of my impatience and open up to new ideas.

thank you! You’re given me another change to look at my impatience masking itself as procrastination and complacency and a host of other things it’s not!

Perfect timing in sharing a piece on patience. As it is written in 1Corinthians 13, the chapter about love it tells us that Love is patience. ” Charitly suffereth long and is kind…” verse 4. It is wonderful to witness and read your writings…keep it up for all you take the time to read, learn and share. Dios te bendiga.

Yes, patience gets confused with a lot of different things. I like the combination (I like how it sounds anyway):

Procrastinacience.

Great call. I believe that patience is the virtue that is found between worry and complacency. It is about being content in the trials that come, not worrying, not hiding from truth.

Great post and great comments. I’ve been on both sides of this fence, but I’d much rather be right in step with Him. That seems to take a lot of work (and patience) though!

Sometimes we confuse impatience with passion. And God gives us a passion. What we need is wisdom to tell the difference.

Bridget, Russell, & Bonnie – Thanks for your comments! It IS hard. I guess if it was easy, we wouldn’t learn anything from it and it wouldn’t help us grow. But the key, I think, is intimacy with God. I was lying in bed last night (after I posted this little blurb) and I realized a song was going through my head. The song? “He hideth my soul in the cleft of a rock.” And I just had this visual of God & I sitting, dry, in a cave, while the storm rages outside. When I remember the peace that’s found in the cave with Him, it makes it MUCH easier to Seek… Obey… Trust… Patiently.

It is hard to tell the difference sometimes, esp. when I’m having to take a risk and get out of my comfort zone. I just pray for the wisdom to know the diff.
