patience.

K T (292 of 1191) “….patients means staying with something until the end. it means delaying immediate gratification for future blessings. it means reining in anger and holding back  the unkind word. it means resisting evil, even when it appears to be making others rich…in your patience you win mastery of your souls..” – Elder Uchtdorf

in a world where everything is immediately gratifying, patience is hard to come by. it’s something that i must consciously think about daily because human nature tells me to freak out every time someone’s actually going the speed limit, or walking too slowly to class. i keep seeing this reoccurring pattern in my life, telling me to slow down ...and today i realized that patience is a huge part of that.

slow down. why rush? enjoy life, dont sprint through it.

Love this post, and that photograph. I think lack of patience is a struggle most can identify with. I hope things are going well for you, dear. xo

but remember to never pray for patience because it will always be tested.

I'm not good at patience at all, even though I tell myself I am.

I'm glad I'm not alone.

Patience is something I need to really work on too. Love that photo.
