Patience Is A Virtue

Patience leads to abundant understanding, but impatience leads to stupid mistakes. -Proverbs 11:29

   Boy do I agree with that passage. I have made some pretty dumb mistakes by being impatient. Patience is not the easiest virtue for me to obtain; it is a daily struggle for me. I am the kind of person that if I want something I want it then and I don't like to wait for something. I know I know I sound like a complete brat, but I believe that God is working on me in this area. 
   You might be asking yourself what kind of mistakes have I made by being impatient? Well it has mostly been with boys. I am the kind of person who feels like they "need" a boy in their life to be happy, but God is teaching me the exact oposite; I don't need anyone but Him to be happy. 
  I have struggled from the time I was allowed to date on how to be accepted by the oposite sex. I am not some sexy, tall, tan blonde who gets all the guys; I am the short, curvy girl with glasses and it took me a long time to see that I am beautiful and worthy of someone's full love. It took many many heartbreaks, tears and even my virginity to see that. I am not worthless like many guys have told me; I am a beautiful child of God. One day he will bring into my life a wonderful man of God that will love me like God loves me. It will all be worth it in the end. All it takes is a litte faith, trust and patience. 
  I pray that if you are reading this and feel like I used to feel (and sometimes still feel like) please do not hesitate to talk to me :) 

Much Love,
Kaitlin
