On the Slowness of God...

"The definition of wisdom is rejoicing in the slowness of God."  Fr. LeRoy told me this during my spiritual direction last week.  I have been meditating on this for the past couple of evenings before I go to bed.  It is really hard to be patient with God because even though I know His timing is better than mine I still would like this process to be complete.  I would like to know that I will be entering with no problems in July but God is making me be reliant on Him, completely.  

As most of you all know my acceptance is conditional upon getting my student loans taken care of before entrance.  I was hoping that I could start working on the rest of the Laboure Society's application process but I am now having to wait until September to finish the application which I started the day after I received my letter of acceptance.  They are redoing their forms and some processes this summer.  Then there is the Mater Ecclesiae which is a grant program as well. I cannot get the application until June 15th.  Then it is due by Nov. 15th and I would not hear anything until March 1, 2012 which would be 4 months prior to my entrance.  This makes me very nervous because it is so close to my entrance date. But I need to keep my trust in God and His plan.  If it is His will for me to be in Panhandle then He will make it happen.   

So "Rejoice in the slowness of God!"  May God bless you all!
