And I truly believe.

I know it's going to be a long time coming. I know it's going to be hard. I know that there are times where I'm going to get frustrated to the point of wanting to give in and completely give up. But, and this is a good but, I also know, somewhere in my heart... Despite the bad and despite whatever else... I have this peace. I know that this isn't as good as it gets. I know that eventually everything is going to be alright and even better than I could've imagined.

I guess, more than anything, it's wonderful feeling like it's totally out of my hands. Because there's nothing I can do in my power. It's in Your hands now and, for once, I want relinquish my control. To You. Because I know You won't ever let me down.

And in writing these words, I realize just how long it took me to reach this point. I look back and I feel like I've already run a full-blown marathon; however, at the same time, I know I've only taken the first few steps.

This whole patience, "One day at a time" thing is much harder than it seems, I think.
