40 Days of Seeking Him 2011 ~ Day 37

I have been, or can be if you click on a link and make a purchase, compensated via a cash payment, gift, or something else of value for writing this post. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

The week is moving along quickly. Tomorrow starts the Triduum.
Today my heart has been heavy with thoughts of impatience. No, not impatience for Easter to arrive. While it is one of my favorite days of the year, I do not feel antsy over its arrival.

Instead, I have been feeling impatient towards others in my family. There are so many things that I want to accomplish and feel are important. However, they do not always agree and make it a challenge to get a lot done each day.

While in the midst of this struggle today, I heard a little ‘voice’ telling me to be patient.

Surrendering my will to this is NOT an easy thing to do. But, I can say that when I stop fighting it things improve.

God is way more patient with us than we are with most people. If we are striving to live more like Christ, then we need to learn when to push and when to step back.
