Honestly.
I know it probably is not a good thing that I don't want to learn patience. But, I know how God teaches patience. I don't want to learn. I've never asked for it and I'm sure God is trying to teach me, but that doesn't mean I want to.
As we have gone through the process of buying a house (well we had to get out of credit card debt first), I have never once asked for patience. Just like when I was trying to get pregnant. Or, when I was pregnant and waiting for my bundle of joy to come OUT!
And, even though I didn't ask for it, I think God is still trying to get it through my thick skull. I'm sure of it. Why else would it take a month to close on a house? Just because God is trying to teach me patience, right?
Okay, maybe it has something to do with all of the background checking up on both the seller and buyer that they have to do. I don't know. But, this is ridiculous. Next time I'm paying cash.
Probably not, but it would be nice.
All that to say. We are buying a house. I pretty nice house. I feel very blessed. I would never have guessed that this house would be our first home (that we bought). I'll post pictures when we are actually the proud owners. For now, you blog readers (all one of you) will have to wait. Besides, if you are reading, you probably already saw the pictures.
And, hopefully in the next few weeks I will have picked up some patience along the way.

I am guilty of the same thing. Is it bad when I pray for God to strengthen our marriage that I specifically ask that he strengthen it through positive uplifting experiences and not through arguing/working through things? The way I see it, God wants us to ask for help, so I do. I just add on the way I think it should be done. He is God and can and will grow me however he likes after that, its just nice to feel like I might have some say in the matter. Who knows.
