Before I posted, I seriously contemplated not posting at all and emailing my fellow posters some wimpy excuse. Ahhhhhh, God knew what He was doing. Thanks for the encouragement - may we ALL respond to His teaching in this area - that's the only hope for me!Elisa Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07255783651650807276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654758713847238560.post-81798792811824493032011-03-31T14:58:34.634-05:002011-03-31T14:58:34.634-05:00This post was a huge blessing to me!!

I am, in the flesh, a VERY impatient person. I have an extremely hot temper and I don't ever feel that I am learning, doing, being fast enough. But the Lord has been teaching to Be still. And I am grasping it ever to slowly. I also find that I am usually only impatient when I am operating in my own agenda. So this is something I have been trying to lay down over...and over...and over again. Excellent post!Jenihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10654090519664292258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654758713847238560.post-66559202383501168322011-03-30T17:13:22.881-05:002011-03-30T17:13:22.881-05:00beautiful post. I am an impatient person, and some...beautiful post. I am an impatient person, and sometimes, especially when dealing with my children, it hits me how amazingly patient God is with me, His child. I especially loved the part about patience coming through reading His Word. The more I learn and remember about the Lord, the more I relax. The more I relax, the more patience I have. For me, at least, my impatience comes from not trusting Him/His timing.

Yesterday I picked him up when he was crying, looked him in the eye and said (in a stern voice) "what is wrong?!?!". I'm not sure if I actually expected a response or not. Whatever the case, it was not how I should have responded. Thank you for sharing!Sarah Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00570063402268727134noreply@blogger.com
