Impatient should be my middle name. It is one of my weaknesses that I work on every day. I am better than I used to be but not as good as I want to be. Add that to the fact that I am also resistant to change, and you have a combustible situation.
A few days ago I was working on a new project on Canva.com. Because I had done so well with creating my first flyer I was hyped and ready to start a new one. Once I found my old project, I attempted to make changes to it while also trying to create something new. After much struggle I realized it would be easier to create a second page for the existing flyer. That didn’t go very well because in my impatience, I kept hitting my ‘mouse’ when the changes were not showing up fast enough for me. Rather than continue in my frustration, I decided to shut everything down and move on to something more familiar. End of office work for that day!
Upon returning to my project the next day I was pleasantly surprised to learn that everything I was trying to do was accomplished. Not only that, but it was all saved and I was now able to complete my new flyer. I still don’t know how to start a new one so I deleted page one, which was the original flyer. Some other day I will return and get it all figured out. Life can be tricky sometimes. We get impatient and keep ‘clicking’ until God shuts the whole thing down and waits for us to get ready for the new training. I find myself overly concerned about things that probably won’t matter when the day comes. So much can happen between your thought now and what really will takes place on the day of your concerns. Let’s learn to stop ‘mousing around.’ A lot of what we try to create has already been saved for us. Remember there are certain assignments in life that only you can complete. No one can keep you from going where you are supposed to go, or from doing what you are supposed to do. Relax! Take a deep breath! Stop ‘clicking!’
