God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time; Enjoying one moment at a time; Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it; Trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His Will; That I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with Him Forever in the next. Amen.

God's Timing-or Ours? By Dr. Robert Schuller
Are we moving too fast? Or are we moving too slowly? Should we plunge ahead-or wait? What decision maker, facing opportunities, has not raised this question? For timing is all-important in every venture of life. If God is your partner, He will help you time things wisely.
Chances are God will time things out in such a way that when He answers your prayer, He will be answering many prayers. God is big. So big that when He answers one prayer, He answers many prayers. . . .
Be patient; God is working everything out. At the right time and in the right way everything will evolve beautifully.
Don't try to rush God.
Mountains don't move overnight.
Give God time to work His miracles.
I have seen God dissolve resentments,
resolve frustrations,
fill lonely hearts with new love,
and wash away hurts like a new wave
washes away scars on sand
scratched by children's sticks.
God can get you out of a rut,
onto a new road,
and over the mountain that seemed impassable,
if you will be patient.
for me i use to want what i want when i want it and i still have to slooow down. Then I can let god work
