On waiting

I was just thinking, I wonder how much of our lives we spend waiting. Waiting for things to be over, waiting for things to come, waiting to see things, waiting to forget things. What does it all mean, when do we get to see and do the things we wait half our lives for? Again I am left waiting for things. Waiting for the love of my life to come back, waiting to graduate, waiting to move out, waiting to marry. I know God calls us to wait patiently, but what can I do now? I know we are a society of instant gratification, I dont deny that. In food, in love, in money. We want everything to happen now. Everyone knows that, but its hard for anyone to change that. Waiting is the single hardest thing in our lives. God will make it easier I believe, myself and everyone else just needs to get into Gods word and do some praying. In a life like this its hard for even me to do those things...but I heard in a sermon when Peter was here, that Jesus eliminates excuses, because his love and wisdom is for anyone, and anyone means everything.

Luke 9:23 ... Then he said to the crowd, "If any of you wants to be my follower, you must turn
from your selfish ways, take up your cross daily, and follow me.
