Why Don't I Learn?

Yesterday was not a good day (besides meeting family for dinner) :).  My vehicle as been in the shop, waiting for a part, so I have been housebond (since last Friday).  I waited on notification of a court date (really hoping it was on my birthday, March 8) and pictures of the girls.  My spirit was very "disquieted" within me and I was having a really hard time trusting God.  I know, I know, it seems like we have barely even started waiting, but patience has never been a strong suit. 

Jon says I only like immediate surprises, as in, "Hey, Ames, look, I've got a surprise, here it is!" and not "Hey, Ames, in two weeks from now, I have a surprise for you."

This morning I realized something about myself.  If there is a problem, I go after it.  I fix it.  I ask "excuse me, can I please speak to the manager?" or something.  Why do I insist on "doing" things?
This morning, my Bible study had me look at "resting" in God.  I had plans to be painting the room that would be the office for the day.  The Christian Radio station played a program about "resting".  With lots of time by myself and paint fumes, I was very convicted at my sin of impatience and lack of trust and surrender.  I finally surrendered, by the Grace of God, I just felt restful.  Restored to peace.

I just took a break from painting because I was parched and popped by my e-mail.

WOOHOO!

We have a court date!  Our court date is set for March 1st.  WHAT?!?  I KNOW!!!

I am so humbled. Feel so foolish.  To God be the Glory.
