"Oh come on! I already let it rise for an hour, surely it doesn't need another hour of rising..." I reasoned to myself, while watching the bread dough rise for the second time. That's when I decided it--letting bread rise was overrated. I wasn't patient enough. I threw the pan of bread in the oven, set the timer, and made it just in time to hop on an online class connect. Thirty-five minutes later, I pulled my bread out of the oven. My flat bread. My incredibly flat bread. Maybe it is important to let bread rise after all...
As you can see, I'm not a very patient person! Whether I'm waiting for bread to rise, or wanting God to hurry up with His plan for my life--I'm not patient. Even so, patience is important. While we're impatiently waiting to be used, He's still shaping us. He does have a plan. His plan just involves different timing than us. Which is okay, considering that His timing is perfect! Be patient with God's perfect timing--He's still shaping and lovingly molding you into the person He wants you to be, and He's using you while He shapes you.
