frustrated

My nephew's son--love that little boy. They are in Germany and this little guy has a sibling coming along. :-) His little sweet face makes me take a deep breath and remember how fast time flies. Stop being so impatient, self!

Very frustrated with the communiction problems of working with an overseas team. it is very challenging. I need Jesus. I need patience. I posted patience scriptures to facebook for myself.

[We pray] that you may be invigorated and strengthened with all power according to the might of His glory, [to exercise] every kind of endurance and patience (perseverance and forbearance) with joy. Colossians 1:11

I pray it differently,

(from the NIV on Bible Gateway:)
9For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you and asking God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding. 10And we pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, 11being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and joyfully 12giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you[d] to share in the inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of light. 13For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, 14in whom we have redemption,[e] the forgiveness of sins.

I really need to be strengthened with ALL POWER according to HIS glorious MIGHT so that I have GREAT endurance and patience. not just a little, I need it to be great.

I have so much work ahead of me and I can do it!I can be patient as it works itself out, too. I do not have to yield to fruitless frustration. I can serve joyfully with love. Ni furaha Yangu. It is my joy.
