Be patient, it will come...

Like many people, I am on a constant search to unravel the mystery that is my life. A search that often leaves me feeling frustrated. But my goal...my "desire" (a new word my friend has taught me) is to make life simple again. There is no better joy than experiencing the simple things life has to offer.
But as we grow from child to adult, we often weigh ourselves down with rules and expectations, do's and dont's, I cans and I cant's. We limit our possibilities. Why, when we know the possibilities are endless. Hear me loud and clear: You are capable of anything! Why, even God himself confirmed this when he said, "You too can do these things..."
The first step to making life simple again is realizing you are blessed. Many of us take for granted the place we currently occupy in our lives. Who but you could have overcome such hurdles? Such oppositions? Such trials? And still manage to stand everyday?
When you realize where you are is exactly where you need to be, the questions will form, and the answers will come...
Be patient, it will come...
Next, learn to love. Love everything you see, everything you touch, every little thing you've been blessed with. The other day I was walking down the street and it hit me how much I take for granted. My being able to write this e-mail, and your being able to interpet my words, is a blessing. One we should rejoice in for God chose this for you and I. Think, there are so many who cannot do this simple thing, yet we've been blessed, more than we could ever imagine.
Be patient, it will come...
Finally, go out there and share what you've learned, what you've experienced with someone. Encourage them, and let them know that whatever their heart desires, it will happen. All it takes is faith, love and a little patience, and it will come. Believe me.
I thank you father for all my many blessings...
