Impatience

I consider myself to be a fairly patient person. I am the one that always picks the wrong line at the checkout or gas pump. But rather than switch lines or move to an empty pump, I will remain where I am. I am not sure why I do this. I think it is my fear of failure. I mean, if I go to another line, wouldn’t that be admitting I failed at picking the “right” line? Is there a “right” line?

I am finding myself extremely impatient in my current career situation. After many months of no pay, hard work, dedication, and self discipline, I can finally see the payoff. I said I could “see” it….I don’t have it quite yet. It is dangling directly in front of me, just out of my reach. This is what is causing me to become frustrated. I know I am about to be rewarded on so many levels but I don’t understand why I must wait. I want it NOW.

But I have been reminded of two things this past week; God will never give me more than I can handle (I just wish he didn’t trust me so much sometimes) and all good things come to those who wait.

I will be reaching my goal soon enough. And then I will set another one for myself and keep trudging forward because this is what we do. We try, we fail, we try again, and then we succeed. But through all my tries, all my failures, and all my successes, I have been blessed enough to have the same great circle of family and friends around me. And during my new venture as a blogger, I have made new friends and reconnected with old ones.

I am receiving so many blessings. I need to stop letting the impatience I carry in one aspect of my life to overshadow the blessings I have been given.
