Have you hear of the waiting game?
Let me tell you, it sucks if you're impatient like me.
Right now I kind of understand a small amount of how Moses felt when he wandered for 40 years waiting for the Promised Land.
In my life right now I'm in the waiting game, waiting...
*to be done with my degree (one class left!)
*to move back to our hometown
*get a big-girl chemistry job for a bit to pay off school bills
*become a high school chemistry teacher after said big-girl chemistry job
*and the big kahuna...start a family of little cookies.
Impatience is one of my problems. Like a big problem. When it comes to little things i can be patient, but when it comes to something that is really important, exciting, or a dream of mine I am incredibly, exponentially impatient. I need to learn patience, big time. I hoping that these verses I found will help me. I'm going to try and memorize them and recite them to myself whenever I'm feeling the full effects of the waiting game.
"Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer" Romans 12:12
"And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, If we faint not" Galatians 6:9
"But if we hope for that we see not, [then] do we with patience wait for [it]" Romans 8:25
"But let patience have [her] perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing." James 1:4
Do you guys know of other verses/quotes that could help? or do any of you feel the same as me?
