God's Patience

Well, I am sorry to say that it has been over a year since my last post. So for those of you who stop in from time to time, thank you for your patience. Over the last year God has truly shown me His patience for us, as a world and a whole. I have been through a tough season these past few years. I wasn't reflecting God's love and wasn't getting in His word. He has showed me His patience by prevailing through this season with me.

I recently was hired as an Assistant cost estimator, which propelled me out of the oppression that I had been feeling. I had been second guessing everything that God led me through and sent me to do before I was let go from my previous job. I wasn't sure if God knew how I felt about not being able to do what I enjoyed to do for a living. I thought for sure that I had failed Him and my family with the decisions that I had made about my education and my pursuit of a career. God stayed true threw all that though and knew that I was to be where He was going to be putting me. So my point, God stayed patient with me, even though I was screaming why and how, angrily, at Him. He took all that abuse from me and still stayed true and patient to bring me to a new and prosperous season.

I now know that I should have gotten into God's word and let Him minister to me throw that and I am sure that if I would have done that, that all the anger and all the worry and all the negative feelings would have been replaced by love and happiness. I missed out on joy during that time. I led my family through a not so joyful time. However now that I have returned to getting in the word daily, thanks to my awesome pastor and his B90X bible reading, I have felt more positive and joyous. I have also started to experience some more patience! I still have a long way to go there though! I can surely say that God's patience prevails and due to that we can be happy in knowing that He will always and I mean always take care of  us!!

Thank you Jesus for all the patience that you have for us individually and more importantly as the world. Cover us Lord with your Love and keep from the sufferings of evil. Amen and Amen
