Lack of Patience.

I'd had a rotten day.

1. Found out our shipment of all our stuff (supposed to Feb.) was delayed...again.
2. GMAC fired Georgie the Driver b/c of some inconsistencies on his hours (he was reporting his working hours extending until 11pm some days).
3. The new driver talks more than I do. That can't be okay. He speaks perfect english, and insists on knowing EVERYTHING (and I mean everything) about what where and why concerning our personal lives. Then wants to have it all translated into english for him.
4. I pick up Hunter from school, and his teacher is having an out of body experience because he told a lie and said one of the teachers said he could read a book. She was clearly frustrated, and confronted me about it, in front of Hunter.

Then he says, for all to hear "I don't ever want to come back ever again". I felt like giving the teacher and Hunter a time out.

I tried to remember what I'd read that morning in my scriptures, searching for some kind of "deliverance" when I felt so consumed by junk.

I was most frustrated about the shipment being delayed for almost double the expected time. Before you think I'm shallow for wanting my household things to be shipped so bad, look at your day, and see how much you use things like hangers, your computer monitor, a dresser, crafts, hobbies, pictures, toys, clothes, books, etc. We've gone over 3 months in "camping" mode. I felt like I needed our supplies--I'd had it. It took everything I had to not email the shipping company and give them a piece of my mind (I promised Tim I wouldn't).

So I sat there in a moment of quiet reflection. Thinking of something inspiring from those scriptures to draw up some patience. Then I remembered, what I'd read. The story of Moroni writing an angry letter to Pohoran. I almost felt justified in just one little email. Heck, I could tell Tim I was inspired by my scriptures... he couldn't argue with that.

Well, if anything, at least Moroni knew what I was going through. Of course sometimes lack of church shoes doesn't always compare to lack of provisions to feed your troops in battle to secure the cause of liberty. But it's all the same, right?
