Lady Of Patience

I recently had to babysit and while I enjoy children-I LOVE kids and babies, I realized that they require ALL of your time, attention and love. I’m not selfish, but I learned that you have to either balance it all or devote your time and attention to one thing(goal) or the other(family).

I was online checking on my class schedule and the baby wanted to play, while his sister was searching for attention. My focus had to shift into them and discipline the older one, while playing with the baby. When older children know they can get away with certain things because a baby is around, they do it! needless to say, all it took was sternness and the oldest one straightened up and knew I meant business.

This situation also reminded me of being patient and how things work together for OUR GOOD, in God’s timing. God knows what He is doing and not that I’m trying to be, but if He were to make me a parent right now, I would be calling my poor mom every 30mins, worrying her and unprepared at all for what’s happening and I would be depressed...Just in a messy state!

What I read in Lady In waiting(Jackie Kendall & Debby Jones) about being a Lady Of Patience came to mind:

  • Many Godly women have waited and won
  • Ruth was a wonderful example of a Lady of Patience.  Ruth did not allow her circumstances or lack of male companionship to cause her to be impatient. 
  • Instead, she concentrated on developing companionship with her heavenly Father who chose to let Him bring a husband to her if he saw fit
  • Society pushes single women to grab for marriage because of male shortage
  • The world is attacking a single woman’s confidence as the enemy discourages her hopes through fear
  • Every date is a potential mate
  • There are grave consequences for the single woman who does not choose to develop patience and wait on God’s timing.
  • Some end in divorce
  • Others end in an emotional separation that causes the husband and wife to merely live under the same roof.
  • Some leave precious children damaged by the insecurity and fear that an unhealthy marriage produces
Children will often follow their Father’s example(Exodus 34:7)

There are many things you can do to stay busy and keep from becoming impatient

God knows what is best and His timing is PERFECT

My hat goes off to ALL mothers. I have a mentee but I’m not always around her:-)

Be BLESSED,
Tiffany

Impatience

The following is GREAT WISDOM from the book Lady In Waiting (Jackie Kendall & Debby Jones) that has blessed me and I pray what I share does the same for you- Statistics often provoke single women to take more initiative rather than patiently wait for God's best. There are grave consequences for the single woman who does not choose to develop patience and wait on God's timing. Impatience to find a man can cause a woman to argue about her 'right' to date a man who is not Godly, maybe not even a Christian. In Joshua 23:12-14 the Lord warns His people not to marry unbelievers. God knows that an ungodly husband will end up being 'snares and traps for you, whips on your backs and thorns in your eyes'. Many young women argue that they are just dating, not marrying an unbeliever. But think about this-in our society, does anyone ever marry someone he or she never dated? Every date is a potential mate. Marriage to a non-Christian brings pain

Hard Times

It’ s gotten tough Life is no easy task You are blessed to wake up in the morning It doesn’t to say a prayer for a brighter day Countries fued over who runs what part of the world Jobs have become a needle in a haystack Nothing is safe to eat anymore What’s on your mind is the only source of privacy you have nowadays Everywhere you look another business is shutting down People get laid off on a regular basis Crimes have also increased More people are getting robbed out in the streets I guess everythings fine if you don’t worry about these things I’d wake up if I were you Technology has taken over man Why isn’t it vice versa? I’ll admit it I’m afraid to see what this world will come to in the future Nothing is a piece of cake anymore You’re lucky to even get crumbs off the street The Destitute stand out in the streets begging for change 80% of the day cars roll on by with no concern Times have definitely changed Are they for the better or worse? I’m thirty one But this economy makes me

These People

This was written by my oldest brother, Alvin Buchanan. What’s wrong with people? They keep attitudes all the time Rob and kill each other everyday Rape and molest children People have a frightening thought process How do you what they’ll do next? Homes and businesses are burglarized Kidnappings have become frequent Parents are murdering their offspring Family is quick to stab you in the back I don’t understand people at all They take advantage of one another They say cruel things to hurt one’s feelings Spread rumors to defame character People envy, but only look from the outside People are very negative when they’re miserable I wish I could escape people! I don’t feel I’m built for real life Sometimes I feel like I’m something else People enjoy more lies’ than truth I guess it’s easier to deal with My heart goes out to these people I don’t think they know the harm they do in the world all the time If so, what triggers it off?
