I tell you, there are so many things that I thought would be happening right now that aren't because clearly, it's not my time we are working on...it's God's. My spiritual walk, career, certain things with my music and theatre aspirations, the youth foundation, family and finances...I mean, it's just not happening...yet. I can go on and on, but I'm not bc it's 3:31 in the morn...I will just leave you with the following excerpt from a journal entry I wrote a while ago...it may speak to your situation; it may not- but whatever the case, it's from my heart to yours...

Patience
I prayed for patience, but I just can't seem to wait
It's so ironic...praying for patience, but getting frustrated when it hasn't arrived
"Not my time, it's all in His time", is what they tell me, but how much longer til I find my peace?
"They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength...":( Isaiah 40:31)
Well I've definitely been waiting, but I'm feeling kinda weak!
Instead of newfound patience, I was put in situations where I had no choice but to be patient...
Longing for that fruit that only The Holy Spirit can give...
Patience
There is no question on if God will come through...
My only inquiry is, when? I'm hoping soon...
My desire is to do what He wants me to do
follow HIS PLAN and not my own...
Lord, I'm calling on You.
"Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see"
(Hebrews 11:1)
I'm just asking that You give be the patience to wait for it...
I know You will supply, but calm my soul...
Keep me from getting anxious.
Can't help but laugh when I pause and think about the time
I got on my knees praying for what I thought I'd receive instantly...
And 5 years later, here I am ( Nowhere near where I used to be!)
But in a place where the only thing keeping me from losing my sanity is
Patience
They say be careful what you ask for...
Because if you can't wait on Him and end up choosing your own navigation,
You'll find yourself lost and waiting longer than anticipated...
(in GPS voice>>>)"Re-routing"..
Man, don't you hate it?
Now you're running out of gas, and too far from a gas station...
This message is not directed to you, it's really intrapersonal communication;
But by all means, if it applies, please accept this invitation:
To wait on the Lord...
With a smile, wait...
Even when it's getting kind of scary, just wait...
Don't try to make a plan for yourself, wait...
Save yourself some trouble, and wait.
