Patience.
Is there another option?
Sometimes I wish there were. Sometimes I wish there was a shortcut. Sometimes I wish there was an easier way. There's a lot to wish, but I often recall my dad preaching some Sunday mornings of how people are too impatient. There are microwaves that speedily cook meals, there are fast food restaurants, there are airplanes, cars, and there are a lot more things that make life faster. We live in a fast paced world. There's a lot in the world that tell us we shouldn't have to wait.
But what value do we find in things that are handed to us in a silver platter?
We get so used to everything being handed to us that we don't realize how difficult it can be to be patient, but the end result is of the utmost satisfaction. I feel I need to relearn this skill of patience.
"Oh wise one, how can I learn this skill of patience?" "Grasshopper, to learn the skill of patience, one must first practice patience."
Sometimes I go through these problems that I feel should be solved on the spot. But when it comes to people I love and care about that sometimes hurt me, I feel that its either "change now" or "go away". But what about "I'll wait". Because sometimes (and a lot of times) they're worth the wait.
Each word I express, I paint with my thoughts. If I could capture each precious moment and paint it a picture, then the beauty of that moment would be tarnished by the streaks of my brush. You cannot hold feeling in your hand. You hold it in your heart. If I paint a picture, I'll paint what I wish to have had. From the glorious triumphs I wished to have achieved to the silly moments that would seem meaningless in the eyes of others. This Blog is my painting. It is my painting in letters.

God's love is undefined.
Words could not possibly describe the love I have for God. The problem is, neither could my actions. The bigger problem is, I let that idea block me from even attempting. Why do I feel the need to limit myself from attempting to demonstrate my love for God. I feel that I've been letting others hold me down. I see that not everyone lifts their hands when they sing. Or I see not everyone kneels down when they're praying. I let others limit me but in reality its myself limiting me.
These are just rants of my pains and struggles. But hopefully they benefit someone.
I just want to fall in love with God all over again. I want him to just take my heart and go BOOM. I want his words to spill from my mouth. I want his love to run through every cell in my body. I want to want God more. How can I possibly express this desire I hold in my soul? But more than express; how can I take into action all the desires I hold. How can my thoughts and desires to love God more move my hands and feet into the direction that God wants me to take them.
It pains me to write such words because I feel that I am all mouth. Nothing more than letters on screen.
I pray that I may become more. I pray the same for you too.
