Please Be Patient With Me

When we ask the Lord to "search us and take out the things that shouldn't be," I guess we can't be mad with however He decides to do it.

For example, I have issues with time. I can wake up three hours early and still manage to be late. I'm not like, super-late. Just late enuf to be really pushin it. (U get me?)

At any rate, two weeks ago I went to Miami. I had been looking forward to this trip for a lifetime, it felt like. I won't tell you what I was doing before hand, but by the time I got stuck in traffic on the freeway because of an accident, then found out that the departure gate had been changed...I made it just in time to see my plane backing away.

You talkin bout a hurtin feelin. Man! Of course that was the last flight of the nite. I walked back thru the airport lookin like a lost puppy. Thank God, I was able to get on standby for the next day, but it did push our plans back a day and I felt like it was an inconvenience to the other girls who were watiing on me.

Everything worked out without me having to buy another tic, but trust me, that's a feeling I don't intend to feel again. Why is it that most lessons have to be learned "the hard way"? ...can't we learn things the good way sumtimes?
