Don't you just hate it when things are unclear? I know I do. I really need direction and when I'm in a situation where I am unsure what to do it really frustrates me.

For example for set up at church, I do it with a guy who isn't very good at explaining and directing me what to do. Often he would just walk off without a word, to do something else, leaving me standing there wondering what to do next with myself.

In situations where things are unclear I can get pretty perturbed. And then I get all gung-ho, rip the remote control out of Gods hands and attempt to make things happen myself, thinking "God you're not working fast enough, show me now - I can't wait all day!" Of course it is all in vain, because Gods timing is different to ours and as Pastor Gerard said in this month's newsletter: 'if what you're believing for is from God then the things needed to bring it to pass is time, patience and obedience.'

Instead of trying to force God to make things clear for me and give me direction now, when it suits me - I have to realise that he will bring things to pass in his own perfect timing.

Now, in the meanwhile, all I have to do is learn to be patient
