Learning Patience-Funny, God
Dear Readers:
Have you ever prayed for something and have been blessed to receive an answer to that prayer-even more than you were expecting?
Well, funny thing is, I’ve been praying for patience in preparation for children.
After taking my MacBook to be repaired, God answered my prayer. In a very real way.
Upon bringing home my newly “repaired” MacBook, I realized something was different about it.
For example, this is what I’ve been staring at for close to four days now. The cheery colors swirl while my computer hums, taking its time to open a program (at least 10 minutes), change between my email and iphoto (spastic in and out minimizing and maximizing of the screens) or try to open WordPress to write a post (this has taken me almost 45 minutes to write, due to crashing, slow uploading and inadvertent deletions).
I’ve run disk utility in order to repair it several times. Everything seems to be “clean” and ready to go, but the swirl keeps on a swirlin’. I’ve tried everything to get this stinker running again.
I have no idea what the “geniuses” did to my computer. Maybe they heard from the Lord and sabotaged my computer so that I may learn patience.
Funny, God. Real Funny.
Ah, yes….Patience. Why is it so difficult sometimes?! I think as believers living in a society and culture of me me me it can be hard to remember God’s timing is perfect, not ours. At least that is my problem.
I love this verse and its been on repeat in my mind recently. My patience has been tested for a year for a certain insanely important event to happen 🙂
Hebrews 10:23
“Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for He who promised is faithful”
Allie-
Thanks so much for sharing the verse. I think it was exactly what I needed this morning! Now, just what is this mysterious event about to happen? 🙂 Do tell!
Oh how I love your sense of humor…your perspective of life too! God does work in mysterious ways, that’s for sure! =) Computer problems are definitely something that try my patience in a BIG BIG way! =( I’m having a giveaway and would love for you to stop by and check it out…have a great week. http://www.thebetterbaker.blogspot.com/2012/08/the-time-has-come-for-another-giveaway.html
Marsha- I would live to stop by as soon as my computer is done doing another “repair” to itself….
