Most Impatient Person Award

That award should be given to me. I absolutely hate waiting. It's almost unfair how impatient I am. For example, I'm currently annoyed that my boyfriend is taking over an hour and a half to text me back, but one time I didn't get back to him for over two hours and he didn't mind at all. Usually when he takes a while to get back to me it's because he's doing something important for school or with his family and I make myself look like a bitch. =/

The other day, the senior class at my school went on a retreat. In one of the activities, we had to wear a blindfold while 5 students walked around and tapped our heads if we showed whatever quality/trait/characteristic a teacher called out. One person said I was patient. I have no idea who said this, but I would like to know just so I could go up to this person and say, "You are sorely mistaken."

Those close to me agree I'm not the most patient person. I have a short attention span (in my opinion), I can't sit still, I can't wait for practically two seconds, and I have the temper of a middle-aged man with three kids (i.e. my father).


Allow me to get a little religious with this. January was not a good month for me.* Like I said, I was feeling cynical and hopeless. I was about ready to give up on life. See, I've been spoiled my whole life, including with God's grace; there have been times where I would pray to God to help me through whatever situation I was in and the next day, everything was okay. But now I was getting impatient. I said several times that I gave up and I was sick of waiting. I was giving up hope that God would get me out of this any time soon.

However, I soon did get out of that mess I was in. I was so much happier and had renewed faith in God. Sometimes now I wonder why I ever doubted Him in the first place.

Which brings me back to my impatience. My being so spoiled my whole life made me unable to handle hard situations. The whole month was a learning experience for me. I realized that there will be tough times for me to go through and I'll have to get used to it. And I must always keep in mind that God is looking out for me.



*My next post should explain this.
