God give me patience, but HURRY!

That always made laugh. My dad’s used the phrase several times. Crazy preachers. Patience is perhaps the hardest thing for me to have. I can’t seem to be patient in any part of my life, whether it be spiritual, social, physical…anything. I’ve always been impatient when it comes to finding a girl. I know, I know…I’m only 18. But when I was in high school, I wanted a girl. I wanted one bad. And I wanted her right then. I was tired of seeing all my friends dating, while I was the token single guy. And I HATED it. Throughout high school, I was DESPERATE for companionship. I’m a lot better about such things now. It doesn’t worry me near as much. But there are times when I find myself sitting alone in my room playing my guitar or reading a book or listening to a cd or watching tv…and I feel lonely. And impatient. “Why?” I ask God…”Why can’t I have someone to share parts of my life with now?”

Tonight, I was having one of those nights, when this song came up on my playlist. And it tore me up.

God, give me patience…and take your time.

“patience” by bleach

patience only comes when you spend your time just waiting
you’re the only one that’s worth the wait i think your great
and writing melodies
sometimes seems to ease
all the stuff that’s built up inside

patience is what comes when you spend your time just waiting
listening for the phone, hoping that i’ll get a call
maybe from some friends
wondering how i’ve been
wondering if we all could hang out

bring back the good times
i think that that would be just fine
bring back the good times

patience won’t you come, oh i feel like life’s suspended
i have not become the thing that i have so intended
put my mind at ease
and i’ll write melodies
and i’ll sing songs of hope that’s to come

so bring back the good times
i think that that would be just fine
bring back the good times

i won’t embrace the things that i have done
patience waits for what we will become
oh it’s so much more i know
that it’s so worth waiting for.
