"For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise. - Hebrews 10:36
I hate waiting. For me, waiting wastes so many precious time. When I wait for my friends to come, I don't like long hours because every minute is wasted. I don't like bratty or naughty kids, especially during hearing mass. I don't like heavy flow of traffic because it is too hard to just waiting then an inch of movement will be done.
But it was said by the Bible that for me to have need of endurance, I will be receiving a promise. Good things come to those who really wait. The best thing that I could use as an example was my sudden entrance at Far Eastern University. Last year, I was waiting for a perfect time what kind of company am I going to be in? I've been to different companies, did my interviews and demo teaching but they always turn down. When this opportunity came in, I grabbed it. I was waiting for this to happen, then suddenly, it happened.
But it was actually in FEU when I experienced the blow of patience. I only got my salary in September, in which I was with them already in July. I only had my identification card with employee number in August. God really tested my patience and thankfully, I survived. Admittedly, there was a time that I wanted to quit because nothing's really happening with what I wanted to happen. Luckily, there were many good friends of mine who said to keep holding on. Now, I regained my patience.
A lot of actions will define how patient are you. Love, studies, everything, it needs a lot of patience. I am still waiting for the perfect one but for now, I set that aside. I am still waiting for the perfect time to finish my MA studies because a lot of people are too excited for me to finish (which is really amazing!). I am still waiting for that good sign from God if I will grab the opportunity or not. I am planning a major thing for my career and I still see the possibilities and disadvantages of it.
In return, patience is indeed a virtue. God made us to wait for what He wanted for us. I may be challenged with my short-measured patience but it was a good one! It managed me to become stronger, wiser and more patient in terms of dealing people. The best thing to be done to make yourself more patient is to pray. Pray to Him that He may give you tons and tons of patience especially nowadays that every single detail in the planet can be a stressful one.
Toodles!!!
