Patience...Patience...Patience...

As you know I have been praying for patience and remember I told you I get trials when I pray for patience...trials so far...

1) I took the day off Monday so I could spend some time with my sons. I wanted to spend the day with them and just have some fun! Well, my sister in law called and said "I hear you have the day off" which in other words meant "could you watch Payton (my adorable 5 year old great nephew and a bundle of energy)? What was I supposed to say?...so now I think my day is ruined my fun filled day with my boys will not happen. I told you I have no patience...Of course I was wrong we had a great day and a lot of fun..Payton is so funny and get him, Jordan and Logan together and they could have their own sitcom.

2) We went out for pizza and Phil ate the tip of my pizza..you know, the first bite? the little tip? The best part of the pizza when you are really hungry..he ate it! Didn't even ask...ok so yes..this made me grumpy!

Well, maybe I only had 2 trials (that I remember) but it seemed like a lot more and typing this now these moments seem so trivial. But, they each tested my patience, which was good...I think I handled both situations better this week than I would have last week..am I growing? I think so, and with God's blessing I will continue to grow in my faith.

And...a special note...Phil is also growing, he learned that you just don't take the tip of a piece of pizza when a girl is hungry!!

Blessings!!
Andrea
