Patience

My whole career has been in stock market in Jakarta. I spent 10 years there. A place where the word 'patience' was really far from my daily job's reality.
A fast-paced working environment, where I needed to be meticulous all the time.
I needed to be as fast and perfect as I could while at the same time I needed to be as efficient as I could. Time was running fast, so was my heartbeat. Getting the best price for my clients and competing with other brokers to grab the best price that I could get. That's what my aim. Tried to beat the market average.
That's my day to day job back then.

Now, in my episode as a full time mom, it's completely different when it comes to the word patience. It's Audrey- my baby's feeding time. Sometimes, she doesn't want to open her mouth. Or sometimes, I need to sing different songs, read some books for her, give her various of toys and yet she still needs 30-40 minutes to finish her solid food.
Trust me, it's not that easy to be patient, but I try my best.
Because God has told me and has shown me what patience is all about.
His Love and patience are very good example for me, His child, to follow His Path.

So, what's your obstacle in being patient today? Try to overcome it. Plus put extra effort in increasing the level of our patience. Remember, we need to be different with this world because we're His chosen people.
Be more patient!

Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.
