What is the definition of patience?
Wikipedia describes it as follows:
"Patience is the level of endurance one can take before negativity. It is also used to refer to the character trait of being steadfast."
I have always associated patience with time!
We live in a world that wants things fast, such as instant messaging, movies on demand, or even fast food!
I have grown up seeing our demands for things to happen faster and faster.
This has been my hang up with the homeless situation. I want to see it end right NOW!
Sally Steenland wrote and interesting article about Ending Homelessness in 2013.
As I reflect on the idea of patience I am beginning to see that it has more to do with learning and growing then it does time.
Am I where I need to be to make a difference?
Am I knowledgeable about the issues?
Am I ready?
I know that God has me on a journey and I want to be ready in his time!
God will bring the pieces together despite my lack of patience!
