Now this can be very tricky. Since having babies I actually became quite patient. However I found a lot of triggers for my patience to become short fused in less than a second.
So today I practised patience and well we were all happier as a result. There were moments where I was getting frustrated and thus impatient and I know it could be heard in my interactions, however, I did manage to keep myself in check and change the situation into a game or something to smile about.
I am really pleased with myself I have to admit and the good start in the challenge gives me more courage to finish it and keep it up.
Mostly I just saw that the impatience was just me and it didn't really warrant a reaction so I just took that pause first and then let go of my trigger.
You have made known to me the paths of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence. Acts 2:28

Love Courageously: Patience
Labels:
love courageously
Defining me is like defining the sky. Lots of mysterious and unphatomable levels. But striving to be simpler everyday with the help of God and my family.
