For those of you who do not know, I recently bought a house.  I would like to be able to say that the whole process has been a fun and quick experience. Truth is, the whole process has been a stressful time of waiting and waiting even more. I always thought that I was pretty patient. Of course if you asked my mother, she would probably say not when I was younger. Growing up my little sister always knew exactly what to say to get me angry. Some how my Mom always caught me yelling back at my sister, which always got me in trouble, and not my sister. I feel like this tends to be the case for the majority of older siblings. The more I have worked with kids of every different age, the more I have learned different ways to be patient. I have learned during this house buying process that no matter how patient I thought I was, I can always learn to be even MORE patient. No matter how good we think we are at something, we can always learn to be even BETTER at it. No matter how good of a Christian we “think” we are; we are not Jesus. We can always learn to be even more like Jesus.

Now that I have moved into my home, I am constantly losing sleep over what things I want to fix or change next. Throughout this last week, I am continuing to learn that there is always going to be something I want to change or update. This will continue to provide ways I can work on my patience, and with God’s help, my patience will keep growing. What are some traits you have always had to work on? What are some traits in your personality you would say God has blessed you with? In what ways can you work on them and get even better?
