Keychain for Patience.

Hello all.

I know, it's taken me forever to write, but to be honest things just aren't flying at my left and right. God’s working on me in a very intimate way, and in His timing. So I share what I feel I ought to share. This may sound sort of silly, but after some journaling tonight I thought I’d share some of my thoughts.

Hey God, it's been a while. I've sort of been in a funk. To be honest, I’m not really sure what to think of you. No, of course I know you're real, and of course I know you love me and all that good stuff. It just seems as if I'm sort of a dork...I feel a little overwhelmed with myself. I'm not sure how to understand how you work in this world. I mean yeah you created it, but I don’t understand why your ways are such. Why good things happen in time. I'm not sure why patience seems so key to everything...yet, I’m thinking it's one of the hardest things for us humans to obtain. And yet without patience, we humans can be so destructive. Honking our horns, getting upset at the lady with 11 items in the 10 item check out, nasty words flying everywhere...what funny people we are and yet you choose to love us anyway....

It seems as if love is the key to the way of Christ and patience is the chain the key is on; putting strain or giving length to it.

Patience is like a keychain. Odd analogy I realize.

I think it's funny that my immediate desire is almost always everything of this world and too often not what God's desires.

Oh, that God would teach me His patience. That my heart would immediately desire His heart's desires. That my heart would beat like His.

So much to learn about myself and so much to know about myself. I want God to teach me the true desires of my heart given to me for His plan. I want Him to teach me who I am, to teach me who I was created to be, to use me in every way designed and crafted for His plan.

It’s beautiful to think that before time began, He knew that today March 1 at 10:11 pm I'd be writing Him. He knew exactly where my heart would be. Seeing as He knows me best, I suppose I should give my all to Him; release my heart's desire to the mercy of His plan.

Cheering you on as we all strive to become a little more patient, and as you each unravel the treasures of your heart that Christ created in you.

May God show you the desires of your heart. May He take you deeper and deeper into His love.
