Globetrotters

Noah,
I was watching one of my favorite shows last night, "How I Met Your Mother" on CBS, and there was a line that really got me thinking for a minute. Marshall, one of the main characters took a job he didnt really care for after searching like mad for a job he had dreamed of. When his wife asked why he took it because it really wasnt what he dreamed of doing, he simply stated, "Well I wanted to be a Harlem Globetrotter and get paid with candy but right now thats not happening either". To simplify, not everything in life is going to turn out how you think it is when your one year old. Thats not to say that you cant achieve whatever you aim to do, but it may not occur at the time that you think it should. In essence, God is in control of your time frame not you. This is a lesson that has taken me thirty years to learn. Galatians states that one of the virtues of every Christian should not only be self-control, but patience. I pray that you have inherited this from your mother, not I. Every day I try to become more patient. Patient with family, you, your mother and God. Until later.
