Patience

Today is Sunday. I struggled to get back into my routine. I also caught a bad cold. This week needs a sharper focus. I want to write this week as well as spend time cross-stitching. I also need to clean my desk off. I have been putting this task off for more than 6 months. I know it’s necessary. Sometimes the simplest things can free up the logjam. These are my goals.

Patience seems to be the word of the week. I need patience as I learn the discipline of writing. I need patience as I continue to learn to eat properly and exercise well. I need patience as I wait for God. I need to be patient with myself. I don’t know if I have the calm endurance that comes from the certain knowledge that God is in control. It’s time to work with God in the area of patience. He is infinitely patient with me and I must take my cues from Him.

And those in the good ground, these are the ones who in a right and good heart, hearing the Word, they hold it and bear fruit in patience. Luke 8:15

This is my prayer—that I will hear the Word, hold it and bear fruit patiently.
