It seems like every single female has been putting the lyrics to “Best thing I never had” by Beyonce… and it irritated the heck outta me… til one day I listened to the lyrics… the WHOLE song… soooo I’m in love with it now..! lol.
I mean, I don’t eve know where to start like. It’s like you find love, and you lose love, and then…
At first you’re like:I remember this!
As the song goes on, you’re like: I forgot how much I loved this song!
Then you start boppin to it like: THIS IS MY SHIT!
Then the song is in your head all day and you cant stop dancing to it, like:

“For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.”
-Hebrews 10:36
When it came to my relationship with God, one thing I always had a problem with was patience… I would never have patience with God. Please believe it always backfired on me.
When I first rededicated my life to God, in December 2009, I was still trying to live “the best of both worlds.” I was pursuing a relationship with God by reading, praying everyday, & going to church on Sunday even though I was at a party the previous days drinking, smoking and what not… SMH.
So i finally came to a realization that I need to give God my ALL in February or so… I just started to give Him my all by not going to as many parties and eventually stopped going to parties all together. However, I was still drinking and smoking and other things… it slowed down, but didn’t stop all together til later on
Mind you, I was still pursuing a relationship with God. I was beginning to feel His Holy Spirit. He started speaking to me in dreams, and other ways of course…
It wasn’t until I came home from Saginaw, May 2011 when I let go of the drinking, smoking, partying, etc, all together. and I was GOING HARD..!
I let all of that stuff go but I became impatient with God. I wanted to be “Saved sanctified and filled with the Holy Spirit” overnight… I subliminally began to look down on the things that I was doing before I made a commitment to God.
so in December 2010, I was being tested. I held on strong for a while. eventually I broke down… I lost faith…
God revealed to me that He was patient with me when I was getting “the best of both worlds,” so why couldn’t I be patient with Him??
Sometimes, we can all be a tad impatient with God. whether its dealing with our relationship with Him, or something we asked God for. In my case, my impatience with God caused me to be prideful and when I was being tested, I was humbled as well…
I just wanna encourage others that if there is something that you are desiring from God, be patient… Love is patient… God is and has always be patient with us.. so be patient with him in return.
“Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him: fret not thyself because of Him who prospereth in His ways…” -Psalm 37:7
“…knowing that tribulation worketh patience; and patience, experience, and experience, hope…” -Romans 5:3,4
My past is apart of the reason im a better person today!
