Patience

One thing that I feel the need to pray for a lot of is patience. I am very, very impatient. This is why the Amazon sales ranks are dangerous for me. I obsessively click on the item and then keep refreshing it. I watch it go up higher and higher until someone buys a copy. Then it drops.

However, I need to be patient because given the nature of how my book is starting out, it will take time for it to start moving. The first buyers have to receive their copies, read them, and then be in a venue where they'd actually talk about it. That is a bit of time.

My impatience, of course, stems from my desperation to find a solution for that little student loan problem hanging over my head. But I have faith that the Lord will provide either the means to take care of it or the time for the means to come.

But that requires patience... And I think I've covered that.
