Well, we are about half way through this fireworks season. As some of you may know, this year in MC morning prayer we have been going through the elements of discipleship, or, the things that make up a disciple. During this fireworks season, the element is patience. Its funny really, this is the time of the year wear patience starts to run out. We are almost at the end of the MC year and people are starting to get anncy. So every morning someone different comes and gives a short devotion about the element. Every single one of them have been really good.

In this season it is easy to loose sight of what you are here for and what you are doing. For some, they are just looking for things to be over. For others, they are looking ahead to next year. Still, there are those that remain focused on what God is doing here and now. The thing about MC is that it is a ten month program, not a 9.5 month program. God has called us here for 10 months, meaning that we have given him all ten months to do what ever it is he wants to do with us. The problem is that when we loose focus and are not patient with God then we loose track of what it is we are really doing. We know that God still has things that he is trying to teach us and that there will always be something we need to learn, but if we are not patient with God and let him do what he wants to do on his time then we may miss it all together.

This concept does not just apply to us here in MC. Maybe some of you out there are also doing fireworks and want to just be done or maybe you are going to work everyday and always dwelling on when you are going to get off. When we do that and are not patient, we miss opportunities that God puts in front of us. God can and will use you at any time he sees fit, are you going to be ready when that time comes or are you going to be impatient with things and miss out on the awesome opportunity that God has put in front of you.
