i walked up besides the line, to see that three of my kiddos had not stopped at the door (like i asked), but instead walked into the room.
"patience," i heard His voice in my heart, a soft, still, (dare i say) patient reminder bouncing between the walls of frustration and impatience deep inside.
do you remember what its like to learn? to not yet realize that I do know best? remember, you're not always quick to follow what I tell you to do, either.
i know it's only been one day. and i know rome wasn't built in that time frame. it took 7 times around Jericho for it to fall, and the Israelites had to walk aimlessly for like, 40 years! but so often, in the moment, i forget all of that. i don't realize that they, too, are still learning it. Lord, help me to be patient.
these kiddos remind me how i rarely get it right on the first try with God either. the proof is in the fact that i've already forgotten that. Lord, give me grace.
