Patience is a what now?

Have you ever wanted something that you knew you were going to get, but had to wait for it? And this something or somethings that you want(ed), did you have to wait for what seemed like a really long time? Yea? Ok, wel then I am not the only one. I am so impatient for two somethings that I really really really want, but have to be PATIENT!!! Oooohh this is hard! The two somethings I want: get married and have more babies. These two somethings rely on my significant other. Wait, back up a minute. First, I rely on God and His timetable, which is usually longer than my timetable. I have prayed and prayed about this and God knows my heart. The Bible says in Psalms 34:7 that He will give me the desires of my heart and Romans 8:28 says that all things work together for those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. He knows the desires of my heart, it is just a matter of His timing. And then there is my significant other, Steve. We had a little chat the other day. Well, actually two chats come to think of it. Started the talk on Thursday night and it did not go well. I didn't word my question(s) very well and the conversation did not end well. Tried again the next night and things went much better. Steve and I are on the same page and definitely want the same things (get married and have kids). So that is good. Again, there is the matter of the timetable, mine is shorter than Steve's. Why am I so dang impatient for something that will happen anyway? I have to keep telling myself that we will have the rest of our lives together to be married and all that jazz. Yea, doesn't make it that much easier. But just knowing that we are more or less on the same page has eased my mind so much. There have been times I have questioned this, but it was so good to be able to have that conversation with Steve and be able to share our thoughts, opinions, hopes, and dreams with each other. We don't do that a lot and I am thinking that should change. I realize that he is a guy and most guys don't share their feelings very often, but it's nice to be able to get inside each other's heads a little bit. Like Steve said, I still want him to be my best friend in 20 years. Can't do that without talking to each other all the time. Looks like I still need to improve my communication skills...
