Who am I ??

I'm walking with Jesus, raising kids, taking care of my husband, finding the answers with homeschooling, keeping up with my family and friends, playing with my 2 dogs/2 cats, looking for good deals, stopping at any yard sale I see, reading, watching reality tv, trying to get my "crafty" fix, laughing, speaking fluent sarcasm and wishing for more time... this is my life!

Patience... such an exhausting word!


"Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing." -- James 1:3-4

My children know I am not a very patient person, so they probably find it funny when I tell them that some things just can't be fixed that fast. I don't think they believe me when I tell them that patience is a virtue! And why would they? I struggle to find the patience to sit in a drive-thru line. I definitely could use some help here when it comes to "do as I say, not as I do".

Endurance is not taught by any other lesson than the process itself. I must keep going even when the days are long and hard. So, I'm trying to teach myself as well and lead by example.

I am placing my hand in His!

    I used to really struggle in the area of patience. The struggle is still there from time to time, but when I feel that panicky frustration coming on I try to focus on how patient the Lord is with me and all of my shortcomings. Believe me the list is way to long to publish! LOL..Sometimes this is enough to tame the unpatient monster..and to be totally honest sometimes it is not enough!! But I am doing better with being more patient. I do believe that some of it comes with growing older in the Lord and in years.
    You have placed your hand in the best place!
