So you want to learn "patience", do you???

I don't think it's coincidental that I chose the word "patience" to study for 2009.  I think God knew that this year is the year I would need more patience. 


We are trying to sell our house.  Does that tell you something?  This is not the right time to be selling a house.  Most people are just trying to survive - they aren't looking to invest. 


We have been remodeling the house we are moving into.  The bathroom has been a challenge to modernize.  In the midst of the plumbing work, the pipes froze and it took us over a week to thaw them out and fix the leak that resulted from that.  That put our bathroom work behind a tad.  We still have no sink or toilet in and the new floor needs laid.


We are also moving (next week) - even though our house is not sold and the new house remodel is not done.  We have had several inches of snow fall and more is supposed to be coming next week.  In the country, the roads are drifting because of the wind.  We are going to try to move despite the snow.


Patience - Psalm 37:34 "Wait for the Lord and keep His way."  Proverbs 19:11 "A man's wisdomg gives him patience..."  As I gain wisdom, I will learn patience.
