None of us like to wait.  We become agitated, impatient and sometimes irritable.  We sometimes throw our adult tantrums just like a little child.  When there is something we're expecting or wanting, we want it quick, fast and we want it in a hurry.  Waiting is not a type of punishment for you and I, it's actually a time of preparation while God puts all of the pieces together to produce something beyond what we ever expected.
