Paitence!

                                         Haha.As I was scrambling for a new topic for my post. BAM! It hit me in the face. What has God been trying to teach you most, over the past two years or so? Haaaaa...patience! Yep, that was a bit humbling for me. So I guess I'll humble myself some more, and preach on the very thing that makes me uncomfortable, because it's my weakness. For me the hardest area in my life to be patient is with my sibblings. They frustrate me to the core! I try to set a good example to them. Give them some advice here and there, when they do something wrong, and they shut me down. They don't want to hear what I have to say, and they deffinietly don't want...my advice. Is'nt that like us and God? Too often we want nothing to do with His advice, or want to admit it when we are wrong! That's like me, I absolutely despise being corrected! It's a pet peeve of mine. I hope none of you will be like uh-oh, now what? Don't get me wrong, or get the wrong idea. You see I love it, when you guys correct me, or take me aside when I've gone of into the deepend and you notice that I need to be redirected. It's a humbling experience that I love and hate at the same time. I relized something. I have been trying to correct those around me, especially my sibblings, without even taking a look at the log in my own eye! I was, and, am...a...hyprocrite. No wonder no one wants to listen to me! Haha. But I need to be more patient. So often I lose my temper, and ruin any progress I might have made with my sibblings, no matter how little. In the same way we reject each other, we reject God. And the same way we see how patient we need to be, or learn to be patient. God is already patient! Amazing. We also need to be more loving in the way we handle situations. I go into an arguement full force, and instead of resolving the matter, I make it worse. wWhat this huge, stubborn freight train! Needs to know...is that, we need to go to God. Otherwise, we will never get anywhere near being patient. Hope this post made some sense, please feel free to comment.
