Patience. For some reason I am struggling with being patient and at peace. When you find something so great, so awesome, so appealing, and so desirable- it is a great challenge to hold back or to simply wait for the time to pass by for the great that you hope to come.
I am constantly reminded from deep inside that peace and patience are part are gained when you talk things out- open up what's going on in the inside and vent. Naturally we do this to another friend or person of trust or who is simply willing to listen. But as is the fact of life- we are not perfect and can't fill what only God can; We can not comfort, love, strengthen, encourage, enlighten, (and so on)- the way that only God can.
Coming to this realization- one word strikes me right between the eyes and into my mind and soul.

PRAY.

The one true God who always:
sees you,
thinks of you,
hears you,
wants to speak to you,
wants to simply be with you...He is the one that will pull us through all things that we will face.
Why do we take this perfect divine relationship for granted SO EASILY?
Why do we look to the brokenness around us for what only our Maker can give?

Free will- it truly is a burden.

I look forward to what is to come with no regrets of the past;
I hope that I may seek to always be close with The One who seeks always to be closer with me
...It's all about Love.
