I do have some questions for you if you do not mind. Is it just me or do some of these remarks appear like they are coming from brain dead individuals? 😛 And, if you are posting at additional online sites, I’d like to keep up with everything new you have to post. Could you post a list of every one of your social sites like your twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?

Thank you, Rachelle, for giving me a thought that helps lift the burden.

(At least for me.) If I'm stressed about waiting — a phone call from someone I need to include in an article — that tension taints my patience with my husband and children. For me, it is a constant turning over and failing to turn over at times. I am impatient. Until, I completely rest in Him. (Which isn't very often btw.)

"In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you."

I trust God to oversee the desires of my heart and perfect them to match His will and plan for my life, today I can safely say that is to write.

I am deeply engrossed in the moment from day to day at how He opens another door to this experience. Meeting new people, stumbling across a fabulous blog, or maxing my word count in record time. With Him the possibilites are endless.

I just want to enjoy the ride.
Blessings to you…

patience is not going postal when you find out that your dream agent has responded to another query in nano-seconds, knowing the agent has had your query since the dark ages.
patience is trusting the light at the end of the tunnel is a possitive thing after you've been ran-over by train after train after train.
patience is still searching for the rainbow, when all you've ever gotten is soaked from the rain.
patience is wishing upon the same star, and dreaming the same dream as milions of talented writers, without giving up.
patince is trusting your future on a stranger believing your dream should be the dream shared with the world.

One thing I'm learning to recognize is when I start to feel this push to something, anything! Almost like a panic, to make something happen. Usually it's triggered by seeing so many colleagues moving forward in their careers while I feel woefully left behind. That's a dangerous place to be. I've learned to see it and just start praying right there on the spot. I think the enemy uses that against us too. So, yes, I think we can recognize that we're impatient, yet keep a balance in trusting God for the timing and details.

The trickier question for me is when should I "do" and when should I "wait"? 🙂

After I blew through my twenty best agent picks without noticing how many queries I'd sent out – well, now I've slowed down. LOL. Hard won lessons.

Patience is our wise teacher for the life to come.

I know who I want to listen to…and too often, do not.

Back to work on snow fence design. BIG sigh.

But I'm learning to tolerate my impatience better.”

This would make a great poster for my office.

If I don't know how impatience feels, how will my heroine? Thanks for the great post!

Learning to live with our impatience does seem like a much easier way to deal with it. Now, I just need to determine how to pass this train of thought on to my boys. :o)

The same thing is true of helping the elderly. Many old people have reached the age (and disability level) where they'll tell you straight up that they're "waiting to die." But the impatience of their younger years has usually simmered down to a nice manageable level.

When I'm caring for The Moms, I put my impatience with my own life's goals on hold. It has no place at all in that situation. They need me to be even-tempered, dependable, focused, and faithful. Not fidgety, in a hurry, or apt to rush them. Helping them has required a discipline of me that I had not learned any other way.

I'm trying to apply the Peace of Abandoned Impatience to my writing life, as well. I think it's possible…..
