Patience

So, one of my new years resolutions is to read Beth Moore's Praying God's Word Day by Day. On January 3rd, the little paragraph at the top caught my attention MAJORLY and I have been mulling over it ever since I read it. It says,

"Patience to wait does not come from suffering long for what we lack but from sitting long in what we have."

My patience has been drawn so thin some days, that I just want to give up waiting for what I'm waiting for (make sense??) and take things in my own hands. But, this totally gave me a new perspective and a new way to look at what I'm supposed to be being patient for. "Sitting long" in my singleness is something I can do as opposed to "suffering long" for one of the things I desire the most.
