The events of my life over the last few years have left me very dependent on my dad for the majority of the basic necessities of life. This can lend a deafening blow to one's ego as a man. Yet with my new job at the YMCA, I have received a brief bump in income and an odd temptation has arisen. This small taste of self-sufficiency has brought to mind memories of an old life where I worked, paid my bills, and was master of my destiny! Sortof.
This memory of independence tends to lead me to be impatient and seek to do things to "better" my position. Yet in the back of my mind I hear God whisper, "Patience." I have watched over these last few years as God has step by step, piece by piece, and inch by inch reconstruct my life. And so, I must be patient and wise in handling my life and waiting on God to fulfill His purpose in me.
So, as I briefly ponder God's work in my life and look forward to that independence day in the future, I must remind myself that when it comes I truly need to find myself in dependence.
