I was reading yesterday in my bible about patience.
You must understand that Hanna Wilson IS NOT a patient person. I guess it goes along with my determined personality.
However, I've come to realize that as Christians, we are constantly taught patience. God is the best father ever because He knows that if things were just handed to us, that we'd all become quite spoiled. I've just been thinking lately about how much I want God to just hand me stuff when I ask.
I mean, what would the world be like if that were the case?
I'm reminded that love is patient.
How does that apply to my whole thought this evening? Well, lemme tell ya! God is constantly teaching us to wait for many reason, but He's also teaching us how to love.
As a girl, all we want is to get married to an amazing guy and have a gazillion children before we die. Maybe God's letting our future love grow for that person because of our wait? It's worth the try!

yeah, you know you've gotta help me out, yeahhhh.
Our last Life Formations class we watched a sermon about suffering.
Now, that sounds kind of weird, right?
Some people think that Christians put off a feel that we don't do anything wrong. That nothing bad ever happens to us. I will stand against that.
My little brother was born with a tumor that was rapidly growing with himself. He was one years old when we found it. Luckily, the doctors could take care of it and he's now a 6'1, 210 lbs fourteen year old boy. So I have always wondered, why? He was so young. What's that about?
On a more upbeat note, I am being reminded of the movie Rudy every time I think of overcomers.
Rudy had to go through sooo much to play that one day for Notre Dame.
My main point is this, sometimes we need to work through all of our suffering and trials to have those victories that are truly worth celebrating.
If all of us had everything handed to us on a plate, our "victories" wouldn't be victories at all. No one would make a movie about someone who had a extremely successful life without working through some heavy things or anything at all, right? RIGHT!
Everyone has things we need to work through.
Everyone will want to quit during those hard times,
like not knowing if your baby brother will live or not.
Everyone feels defeated at one time or another.
DON'T GIVE UP!
One day you'll walk out to that field like Rudy and realize, you did it.
That's why God allows us to work through things.
