Answered Prayer

God is amazing.  I know that, but I also know that God does things on his timetable and not on mine.  That's sometimes really difficult to deal with.  I want what I want when I want it.  Unfortunately, I recognize that I'm kind of impatient, a lot stubborn, and majorly independent.  These are not qualities that lead to patient waiting.  God has really been forcing me to wait in several areas of my life.  Sometimes I take "wait" as a "no".  What I need is to remember that God's okay is far better than my best, and I know that God wants more than okay for me.  He wants his best.  So, sometimes, I just need to pray without expectations placed on him.  He's God after all, and if I can't trust him, who can I trust?  God will answer in his time, and I need to believe that.  

Praise God!
