I grow impatient when I manage my time poorly.
And especially when I fail to trust in God and turn to my own efforts instead.
I have an essay to write for class, Catechism instruction this evening, an adult information class to teach, I'm struggling with aa sermon for this Sunday, the starter went out on my truck, then someone calls and needs to talk.....
"Give me a break God, Where am I going to find the time for all of this?"
Some of my frustration is due to the fact that I did not allow time for the unforseen, that's my fault.
Some of my frustration is due to the fact that I am not trusting in God to provide the time and energy (daily bread) that I will need today.
Again, my fault.
I think patience is something we learn and develop throughout our lives, it is not something we are born with.
I have heard people say, "Well, I just wasn't blessed with patience." I don't think anyone is, I've never seen a baby that was hungry, or needed a diaper changed that had been blessed with patience.
