Hold on. lately Ive been extremely impatient with everything in my life. I always see bad things going on in the world and these days Ive been sulking around feeling like everything's always going to stay the same, do I even make a difference to anyone? Is god mad at me or something?, because when I pray it seems like my prayers never get answered, like god brushes them aside. When will you take action lord? Why wont you just fix things now? As I was reading psalms I came across a message in my teen devotional bible that practicaly slapped me in the face and answered my personal questions I had for god. "How long O Lord" is a regularly repeated phrase in Psalms. It expresses the impatience people feel in tough times. They want so badly for god to fix things, but god often waits. Not that he likes to watch people suffer; he just loves to see them grow. Nothing builds our faith and endurance like problems. We've all had crap happen to us, its a part of life no lie on that one, and when its over and done we become stronger and learn from what has happened to us, for christians and people who are not, it happens to us all. Just because us who are christains have decided to put our lives and faith and trust in god, doesn't mean our lives are going to be a piece of cake,it even says it in the bible, people will hate and mock you for my names sake. So when we cry out "What are you waiting for?" God often replies in his words, "I am waiting for you to grow.Hang on!I am with you, and I will not let this last forever." thats the only way I know how to explain it. sweatdrop

	thank you very much for your comment. yes I felt it was important to write this. I know what its like to feel impatient and wonder if god cares when he doesn't work right away. Like that song you know better than I from that movie Joseph the king of dreams. I remember that god does know better than I and that he is in control and that I don't always understand.
