How many times have I had a conversation with my children (or husband) and someone says "But I wasn't finished yet..." or "You didn't let me finish...". With 3 children, ages 12 (son), 9 (daughter) and 6 (daughter), the youngest being our SUPER TALKER, this is a frequent occurence. It's a normal thing, this ebb and flow of conversation and expectations about what will be said next and having to move on even if the discussion wasn't done. My son, now a middle schooler is more adamant about his conversation times, because he wants to be heard. He wants to know I understand and I try extra hard to do so. We were driving home from Scouts last night and after talking about his lost flash drive which contained a school assignment that was due he said "You're impossible to talk to. You ask too many questions that I don't know the answer to." I laughed and told him he didn't give me enough detail. I am a woman after all. He always makes me laugh.
The point of this is I know that I don't give God a chance to finish. I get impatient, I want the answer now. But He is not impossible to talk to. I want to know why even if the answer isn't available yet. I know He works in His time but sometimes I don't like His timetable. I pray I can learn to be more patient so I can hear what He's trying to say.
