Human beings hate to wait.
I hate to wait.
And we are SO good at being impatient.
Is it not easy to complain, to throw a tantrum? To toss things around in anger and frustration, only to find that, in the end, we're in the same place we started. You can walk in a circle all you want, but you'll still end up in the same place.
Why do we walk so, and try so, when we find ourselves empty? Why do we climb back on the same roller coaster when we know it's the one that makes us sick, when it's the one that makes us want to get off the moment we get off?
There is a moment in everyone life-maybe even multiple moments-where the task seems impossible,where the task is so unbearable that you feel retarded. Those are the moments where you have to sit down and WAIT.
You don't walk outside during a tornado, you wait it out.
Life is like one big long car ride. You're behind the wheel. At some moments you'll be cruising right along, faster than 80 kph, the wind blowing through your hair, and the air, the sweet sweet air all around you. Then there will be the moments where you get in a car accident, and you didn't even know it. You have to go in for repairs, and get fixed up and it's not fun. Money has to be forked over, and you really just don't. Want. To.
Then there are the moments when we're been cruising for so long we hit bad traffic. And the going is slow and tough, and we want to just get out of our car and walk, because you'll get there faster.
Race cars drive fast, but in a circle. And no matter how much the loop around and around, they end up in the same place as before. This is where the rubber meets the road. Now.

In pre-calc, there's this one set of equations that I have trouble with.
You have to make the denominator not equal zero...you go through all these different steps...
and when I first started solving them, I'd end up exactly where I started. I'd get frustrated and give up, just to find that I thought I knew how to do it while he was teaching it.
There's only one "way out".
You have to stop at one point in the problem and just plug in what's given to you.
I think that's how I've realized that God is the solution. I knew that before, but he's the ONLY way out. What I'm doing at the time may seem like the right thing, but I just end up exactly where I started: empty. Nothing done. No growth.
But with that solution plugged in, it works. Everything works.
