Patience...

...is something I lack. (As well as smiling with my mouth closed and ability to roll my r's and whistle. But that's another matter.)

But in college Sunday School yesterday someone brought up this verse.

But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

Isaiah 40:31

And it really made me think. About life, genuine joy, relationships, and what's ahead for me. It's so easy to burn out quickly over things you believe have no answer. I laid in bed last night wide awake stressing over silly things, wondering and waiting, anxious as can be. I can't seem to grasp that He is in control, my thoughts really won't do any good. He calls us to delve into His word and trust Him continually. Wait patiently, in His timing.

Monday side notes:

1. We decided that instead of the beach, we would find some R&R in the mountains of North Carolina this weekend. I couldn't be more pleased. Tranquility, a hot tub, and a scenic view is all I ask.
2. I really like my nails painted this color. Try Revlon Minted.
3. I registered to vote today. Exciting news, huh?
