Patience

I asked God for patience. I asked for His help because I am not always so good at waiting for the right time to do something. And I always felt a little calmer after asking. He told me to breathe in and out and to wait.

But I couldn't. So I tried to rush ahead. It seemed like it was right there for the taking, so I reached for it. And this thing I was rushing toward? He pulled it further away from me. And He said to be patient.

And so now I get it. Amazing that He would teach me this on my terms.
