Patience

Patience is a virtue.

And one I'm not familiar with lol

I've never had much patience for anything...whether it be for a Barbie when I was little, or to learn something new. I always want everything NOW. My mom used to say, "Good things come to those who wait" as a way of teaching me to have patience. And it has, because I probably would have gone stark-raving mad by now! haha

But I do find I'm praying to God for patience more often than I'd like. I volunteered tonight and one of the girls was in a bitchy mood. She's the one who really wants to learn how to play, and she was getting catty. I don't like telling her to mind her manners...I just told her to "chill" a few times which seemed to work, but she was frustrated, and then I was frustrated...so alot of praying was happening in my head to just have patience with her. I know she's capable of so much more, but I have to be careful not to push and to just be patient with her.

My education is another example. I want to go to medical school NOW....but that isn't happening now, and God only knows why. Everything happens for a reason, right? That's how I'm keeping positive about this. Things take their own time to develop, no matter how hard you try to push. And if you do push it, alot of the time you're just pulling it backwards or just fucking it up entirely. Sometimes you just need to back off and let things happen on their own. So, I'm going to take my own advice and just chill out...let things progress on their own...let life progress on its own. I will work hard and I WILL get into medical school. It will happen. I will go volunteering and be there for these girls, and things WILL progress. I just have to let it happen in its own time :)

Lots of love & thanks for reading!!
