Patience is:

a virtue.
one of the many fruits of the spirit.
Love. Joy. Peace. Patience. Kindness. Goodness. Faithfulness. Gentleness. Self-Control.

Out of all of them, it is the hardest one, right after faithfulness, for me to understand and apply to my own life. I am indecisive with the little things in life (like what to pick in a vending machine) and rash with the important things (like where to go for college).
I want everything now and not soon, but when I finally get it, I regret not thinking through the initial decision to get it in the first place. I sound like a whinny little kid in a candy shop.

Speaking of a candy shop, its just like being short and only seeing a bar of cheap chocolate the 'top' of the counter, only find out after your bought the candy with all your money, taken a bite from it, and stepped away from the counter to leave the shop, that there were better candy bars just a little bit above the cheap one that you saw.

I need to pray for the patience to grow and for the ability to step back and take a look at the bigger picture of life.

Haha, and now I have run out of things to say.

Over and out.
