Patience and Selfish Desires

I've never had much patience for anything. Waiting for good things...waiting for bad things to be over...waiting to see if a situation would end up good or bad.
Usually I find a way to get what I want and in a time frame that suits me.
This is wrong.

This is something I've been working on for the last few years...I don't seem to be making a great deal of progress. I have an extremely selfish nature...sometimes I can hide it pretty well, but it's always there.

I want to be better...I try so badly to wait...to trust...to leave my impatience in God's hands and know that he will take care of things in His time.

And sometimes this means that I will not always get what I want.

So now I have a blog

I'm sitting here with not much to do because we haven't started classes yet and it's not dinner time yet and I've unpacked. So I decide to read some of my friends' blogs because I haven't in a while and then I think to myself, I'm gonna start a blog. And then I did...as evidenced by these current ramblings.

So I'm sitting in my new house on Logan...and it's interesting. Thus far I really like all of my housemates, a group of six other girls. And before yesterday I only knew two of them. And I've only had one freak out, which is pretty amazing for me.

I never thought I'd live with this many girls ever again... In fact I've spent most of my college life trying to get away from being around large numbers of people.

But my life is changing. And maybe this is just what I need.
