Patience is a virtue

This week has tested my patience. Friday we went to the Pediatrician and found out that she has rotavirus. Poor little girl! Today she was a little better but I couldn't put her down or she would scream uncontrollably. We are praying for her to get better soon!
I'm currently doing this Living Free Bible study by Beth Moore with some women from my mom's group at church. It is so refreshing and has taught me about pride. I especially need God now dealing with a sick little one. This poem is from the study - I think it is so powerful!

My name is Pride. I am a cheater.

I cheat you of your God-given destiny...because you demand your own way.

I cheat you of contentment....because you "deserve better than this."

I cheat you of knowledge....because you already know it all.

I cheat you of healing....because you're too full of me to forgive.

I cheat you of holiness....because you refuse to admit when you're wrong.

I cheat you of vision............because you'd rather look in the mirror than out the window.

I cheat you of genuine friendship....because nobody's going to know the real you.

I cheat you of love.......because real romance demands sacrifice.

I cheat you of greatness in heaven.....because you refuse to wash another's feet on earth.

I cheat you of God's glory....because I convince you to seek your own.

My name is Pride. I am a cheater.

You like me because you think I'm always looking out for you. Untrue.

I'm looking to make a fool of you.

God has so much for you, I admit, but don't worry....If you stick with me

You'll never know.
