ready ready ready

I am a very impatient person. I am a "I want it now" kind of creature. I am taming myself to not be so urgent, to let my eager spirit rest and wait for exciting things to come. Some material, some not so material. For example, I REALLY want an ipod..now but I can't have one just yet because I can't but soon! I REALLY want to get back to school....now but, again, I can't because the time has not yet come. I REALLY want to go on an overseas missions trip........now but...you get the gist.

So much I want now. So much I feel like I can't wait for. For me the future must be now. But this is where I must let go of the control I so feel I should have. Most of what I want now is not material, I want knowledge, experience, exposure, culture, and most of all I want to be the tool that God uses to bring many close to Him without taking the credit. So much rests in his hands and I am all to willing to rush things along.

My mother always said to me and my sisters (and we HATED hearing this phrase) "your time will come." Now that I think back maybe she should've worded it a little differently such as, "His time will come for you." I never took this phrase seriously nor did I ever want it in my life, but it proves true today. Never will "my time come" but rather His time will come to call me, to urge me along. Funny how destiny is all about timing, Gods timing.

Peace.
