Abby is at the age where everything she wants has to be given to her now! There is no waiting for her. If she doesn't get it immediately she screams. No, she screeches. Of course the screeching really doesn't get her very far, and most of the time we still don't know exactly what she wants.
Patience is not only a virtue, but it has to be learned. Waiting on what we want is not easy, but it is worth it every time. When we try to get something before we are ready, it will fail. For example, when you buy a house because you think you are ready, but you really can't afford it yet, it was a mistake not to be patient.
Abraham and Sarah were promised descendants. However both of them had crises of faith while waiting for God to fulfill His promise. They were not patient. They wanted it and they wanted it now. They couldn't wait and wanted to take matters into their own hands. They thought that their plan was better than God's plan. They were WRONG!
I hope that I can remember to be patient and wait on God instead of wanting my way NOW!
