Learning Patience

So as of now I'm in Sacramento, California waiting to get my visa for brazil. The waiting has definetly been hard, I'm wondering alot what this is all about. Why am I stuck here? And why am I not in Brazil? But through my frustrations God has made himself real to me. It's like God told me I placed you here for my purpose and that is to grow closer to me. And because of that, how can I complain? I don't think I have ever been so close to God and that is definetly a blessing! So through the frustration of being here God has flipped my world upside down by teaching me how to have those intimate moments with him that I was to busy to find before. He took away all the distractions to show me how beautiful he is and how much he cares about me. And God has definetly Rocked my world...now I know how it feels to really have a relationship with God! To yearn to be with him everyday...I can't get enough of him...to pray once a day doesn't satisfy me anymore I want to pray and be with him 24 hours of everyday. He's taught me that its not okay to just be comfortable with the ways things are...I need to always keep striving for more and more of him. It's like he's put a whole new passion in my heart that wasn't there before. A passion not only to be with him but to dive into his word, to learn more about how he feels about me and others. So though this wilderness I'm in right now has definetly been trying he has used it to do something amazing for our relationship! And that I would never trade for anything! God is good! James 1:3 For you know that when your faith is tested your endurance has a chance to grow.
