Lord give me patience... NOW!

I've never been a patient person. Ever. Several times that has been my downfall. I hate dieting and 'getting healthy' because I want to see the results of giving up that cheesecake and working out NOW. When I quilt, I want it to be done NOW so I machine quilt even though hand-quilting is much more valuable and has a unique look to it. When I go for a college degree I want it done NOW and I end up losing my motivation quickly. When I go to work I want money NOW - which is why I got a serving job >.o

Today's world is so fast pace everyone wants results now. Sometimes we can say the same thing regarding our relationship to God. We ask for this or that but if we don't see it within a few days we get angry and think that he isn't listening but the case is that we just forget about things that he has done for us. Because we didn't get that new car or raise we forget about the time last week that we almost got hit by a car but we slid out of the way because the road was icy.

He doesn't forget we just need to be more aware.
