Patience

If your a wife or mother or own a beagle you probably already know that Patience is necessary to everything! Well I am just shy by a few months of being 1 year into marriage and 1 year into being a beagle mommy, and even now those things can't compare to the lesson of patience that I am currently learning.

When I was in Bible College my one professor my freshmen year had said to us jokingly "Don't pray for patience it will be the longest hardest life lesson to learn from God." and of course me being an 18 year old who wanted to prove something went back to my dorm room prayed that prayer and ever since I have reminded myself, I put myself in this mess. It's true learning patience is the hardest thing to learn and its a CONSTANT thing to learn. You don't read a book, know what it is and then be good, constantly life throws us lessons of patience our way it's up to us if we accept the lesson though.

My husband sometimes get's frustrated when we face adversity or major issues I tend to laugh it off and continue what I was doing, he always asked me how I could be so calm, "Do you not understand what is going on?" It's then in those moments God offers me the chance to whisper a lesson of patience to him, my response always and forever will be "You and I have no control over this issue, we can choose to let us be beat down or we can choose to let God handle it the one who already has His hand over the situation and can ultimately be the only one to fix it." He never quite likes to accept that truth sometimes because he's a "fixer" he wants to fix everything, handle it all, cross the T's and dot the I's.

Currently We are going through a personal situation that is a rather lengthy process and I have to admit I am having a slightly hard time taking my own advice on this one, I've gotten a bit stir crazy the past 48 hours and I have to admit each hour that goes by that I don't hear something I get a little more stir crazy. (Hence why I am typing away to you guys). This one thing could change the way everything is for us, in a amazing and blessing filled way!!!

Please just pray for us as we pray for you, as this step in our marriage could be one of our biggest ones yet!!!
