Todays' quiet time.

Today's was a good quiet time, doing some more thinking about patience. These are the negative examples that the journal had:
Num. 20:1-12; I Sam. 13:8-14; Luke 10:38-42.
And here are the positives:
Gen. 39:19-23; Job 1:13-22; Matt 27:11-14; James 5:7-11

I also began to memorize Romans 5:3: And not only that, but we also boast in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces endurance. And then I answered these three of the self evaluation questions:
1. Am I able to accept unfavorable circumstances calmly?
Somewhat. I think I've gotten better, but there's so much more progess I need to
make.
2. Do I complain when plans do not go my way?
Yes, I get upset, and in doing so, I guilt other people and make them feel bad. I don't really
intend to do it, but that's what ends up happening.
3. Is my life being lived out at a pace I can live with, or do I always seem to be in a hurry and
just a little behind?
The second.

Question 3 kind of goes along with what Rick Warren was saying when he was talking about living a balanced life. If my life was more balanced the way it should be, then obviously I wouldn't be distracted so much, rushing from school to go to work, and I definitely wouldn't feel like my time wasted at the end of the day. One thing I did was to put a list, in order, the things most important that I wanted to do on the internet, as a way of making sure they get done. This was first. Hopefully, at the end of today, I won't feel like I wasted my time. The ideas, the fresh starts, and the progress that I can feel as well as the progress yet to be made that I can feel- fills me with joy that wants to bubble out.
