Wanted: Patience!

Are you patient?
...I chose to be patient many times...

Last Saturday, my Boy Friend Forever Macky teach me how to drive. While on the way to our training ground, he assured me it's easy - the same principle as I drive a tricycle. At first he is mellow to speak. Clutch-primera. Gas. Preno. Clutch-reverse.... After few minutes, he started yelling. STOP!... ANO BA YAN!... LOOK INFRONT OF YOU NOT TO THE GEAR!... TURN RIGHT! BRAKE! + scratching his head!... I kept silent and continue to obey even if I was punched by unkind & impatient chain of commands.

When we got home, I asked him. What if I am still your girlfriend, will you shout at me?
He burst out laughing.

Bill McGlashen said, patience is something you admire in the driver behind you, but not in one ahead. Barbara Johnson said, patience is the ability to idle your motor when you feel like stripping your gears.

Do you know one person who is sickly impatient? Ouch!
We need God's Rx - a pill of patience many times a day or in any particular situation in our family, work, ministry, and heart's desires.
God's word in Proverbs 14:29 says, A PATIENT man has great understanding.



Patience is a fruit of the Spirit that should be seen in us e.

Prayer:
Lord please give me the patience to listen, the courage to speak, the honor to follow, and the wisdom to lead. -- Author Unknown

The Climb



I can almost see it
That dream I’m dreaming but
There’s a voice inside my head sayin,
You’ll never reach it,
Every step I’m taking,
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking but I
Got to keep trying
Got to keep my head held high

There’s always going to be another mountain
I’m always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes you going to have to lose,
Ain’t about how fast I get there,
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side
It’s the climb

The struggles I’m facing,
The chances I’m taking
Sometimes they knock me down but
No I’m not breaking
I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I’m going to remember most yeah
Just got to keep going
And I,
I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on,

There’s always going to be another mountain
I’m always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes you going to have to lose,
Ain’t about how fast I get there,
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side
It’s the climb



Keep on moving
Keep climbing
Keep the faith baby
It’s all about
It’s all about
The climb
Keep the faith
Keep your faith
