JOY & patience.

"There is no rush in life."- father Pius X.
He's a monk who inspired my patience and who gave me a humbling talk. One of the things that I often have a hard time with is patience. It is patience keeps me from a lot of things, such as meeting new people. Sometimes, I don't want to deal with their problems because I have so many of my own... Until I realize that is exactly why I am here. To love, know, and serve God. I am not only loving God through others, but also serving him to the best of my ability right now. I am trying so hard to change my attitude towards life. I miss the laughter that I used to have, I miss the JOY.
LORD- Please help me find the JOY in my life.
