There are things in life that I have wanted desperately. I didn't care what was attached to them, I just knew my desires were stronger than the possible no, ill will, or challenge that came along with it.  When I got those things, I realized my lack of patience and inability to bend were costly. The most expensive price I've had to pay was time.
 I'm learning now to pray a different prayer. One of God's will and not just my own. I'm learning that when I let go of what I think should be, Jesus shows me better because my vision is limited but he knows the pureness of my heart's desire and what it takes to have it.
 My hope for us is prayer, perspective and patience because life's rejection could be because God has better nearby.
