My wonderful Lori sent me the devotional she was reading tonight. I plan on printing it out and keeping it in my car, my cubicle and my home. Patience. I must learn patience. It's something I've always had trouble with and now I see how very important it is. Thank you Lorz:
The Work of Patience
Psalm 40:1 "I waited patiently and expectantly for the Lord; and He inclined to me and heard my cry"
Any time you become frustrated and start trying to make things happen on your own, it is a sure sign you are not being patient with God. You need to practice waiting on God and let Him do what He wants to do, in His way and time. The best definition of patience I have ever heard is "to be constant or to be the same all the time, no matter what is going on". Patience is not merely waiting, it is how you act while you are waiting. The hardest thing most of us will ever have to do as Christians is wait on the Lord. You will undoubtedly have to wait on many things during your lifetime. Waiting is not optional. But it is during the waiting periods of life that the most powerful things will happen within you...

“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!” - Jack Kerouac
“We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls." - Mother Teresa

This was seriously from God!! I was in my room for the night (all the lights were out around the place, computer was off), and I was reading and praying and when I read that, this big wave of "Get up out of bed, turn your computer back on and send this to Jesika" came over me and honestly I did NOT want to get up. I kept thinking "oh I will do it in the morning" and it would NOT go away..... He wanted you to hear it. He loves us soooo much because on the very next page was a devotional about learning how to enjoy the journey........
