Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. ~ Philippians 4:6-7

Patience has not always been my best friend. He hasn't really been up close and personal with me. We are more of acquaintances. Sometimes I get to say hi and hello, but we've never really chatted for long periods of time. I hope we can get to know each better. I really do. I need his encouragement and optimism. I long for his friendship and his shoulder to depend on. Why we've never really pushed our relationship to the next level is really due to my stubbornness.

Question for the day: Oh patience, can we be friends?

In between waiting and hoping...

When I make a mistake, it feels to me a domino effect might occur. I don't want that to happen. I stress over that mistake and I feel so much regret. I'm trying my to be positive and just do better. But I feel hopeless. I feel like this is something that I should not have committed wrongly.

Mistakes are usually undone. All you can do is just fix it or just refrain from doing it again. It is never really erased. I'm speeding things too fast and it bites me in the ass. I should just think things through and analyze things. In the end, I will lose more time if I commit mistakes in the process.

I try to be positive. I try. That's so hard for me. I tend to wallow to the extent of writing about it now. I want to fester the wound of my mistake. Dang. I thought I'm over this.

Double check. Thinking things through. Ask for a second eye. These are the things that should be permanently ingrained in my head. Carelessness is not an excuse. I have to stop making excuses. I just hope reality gives me one more chance. I have had thousands of chances and I know that in this case, time is not on my side.

Give me hope.

Question for the day:
How do you mend a mistake?
