Waiting not so patiently

I hate waiting…

Its only just dawned on me that most of my stress when I am studying and have deadlines to meet comes from the waiting bit. At the moment I am waiting for Deakin to load a stupid article, seriously I feel like I wait all my life. I wonder how much time I waste by waiting…

At the moment I am trying to do work for uni because it is assessment time and everything is due in the space of two days, but it feels like every time I sit down to DO something, I spend most of my time WAITING for things to open things to load etc etc etc. I know my poor little computer is getting a bad rap at the moment, but I guess that’s where I do most of my waiting, it probably doesn't help that I try and make it do 100 things at once. I know patience is supposed to a fruit of the spirit that I should show in my life, but I reckon that is one of the hardest ones to really show well…

But at Sunday school we have been looking at the fruits of the spirit because of the spectacular musical we will be putting on very soon (big part to be played by our very own Dave), and there is a song that we have been learning about a little snail called herbert and having patience, and the words of the chorus go a little something like this….

Have patience, have patience, don’t be in such a hurry
When you get impatient, you only start to worry.
Remember, remember that God is patient to!
And think of all the times when others have to wait for you.

So as I go and wait for this page to load I will sing that little song…

Stay tunned.

keep waiting em, sing that song.
if i was hippy, i'd tell you to use that waiting time constructively and use it as 'still time' or 'quiet time', use that waiting time to relax and reload. but you know what, i am not a hippy, i am an impatient person, so sit there, get frustrated and if needs be, hit something (just try to make sure whatever you hit cannot hit you back).
