The past couple of weeks the Lord has been teaching me patience and testing it as well. Throughout the past two weeks, we have been adding a bathroom to a house and cleaning up the yard for one of the locals. The whole process involved installing a septic system and building the bathroom itself onto the house. Then we leveled and cleaned the entire yard. With my personality, I’m all about doing it right the first time and trying to be the most efficient. During the process, it seemed like they would always choose the harder way of doing things. This would test me because in my head I felt like I knew an easier way to do whatever it was. It would also seem that when we would finish something we would get told to change/redo what we just finished. So throughout this experience, I believe the Lord was trying to teach all of us patience, especially me. I feel like I struggle with patience in certain aspects of life, the main one is trying to complete a task such as this one. I believe that this was the Lord teaching me to be a good follower and just show love instead of trying to show my way
