I must have patience. Patience that I can bear the next few weeks until I graduate High School. Patience that I can survive I.G.A. for the next couple months before I go to college. Patience that life will work out, that I will be able to get a job after college, raise a family, grow old and happy. Patience that a girl will find my miniscule chub to be nothing short of excellence. Patience that my acne will clear up from the mounds of pills and cremes the doctors have been shoving down my throat for two months now.Patience that, in short, the little details about life will get better.

"But these things I plan won't happen right away. Slowly, steadily, surely, the time approaches when the vision will be fulfilled. If it seems slow, wait patiently, for it will surely take place. It will not be delayed." - Habakkuk 2:3, New Living Translation

Anth,

Everyone I know struggles with patience, in fact I wish I could hurry-up and become more patient. Your scripture post is another example of how relevent God's word is in today's times.

I will be honest, I have not prayed for you:
* To "bear" HS until you graduate
* To survive IGA
* About you finding a job
* Having a girlfriend soon
* Acne will clear up

But I do pray most every day that:
* You will be able to stay focused during your senior year to ensure your college scholarship
* That you will be disciplined in taking your pills

I do pray most everyday for both you and Ams that:
* You will continue to grow closer to God and rely on Him for wisdom
* God's protection
* God is preparing a wife for you that will fall in love with Christ before she falls in love with you
* When you do date, that you will rely on God for strength to beat back temptation and peer pressure
* When you are married that you will have a Godly marriage and put God and your wife before yourself.
