waiting not so patiently

I am not a very patient person.  I really thought I was, but I am finding myself having difficulty with the idea of waiting for God's timing.  I know His promises.  I have memorized many of them and yet......I have an agitated heart and my emotions are screaming out "When will I see your plan, Lord?  Have you forgotten about me down here?"  I know in my head that isn't true, but the heart is a very different creature.  It seems to wander down the paths of loneliness and regret.  It becomes thirsty for the water of assurance.  Just a glimpse into the future where all is ok.  Will all ever be ok?  I can't help but wonder, but then I feel guilty in the questioning.  "Trust me!"  That's what God tell me to do and so for however long it takes, I will trust.  Not with a smile, but with a heart that knows He really does love me and them and His ways are beyond my understanding.  There is peace in the knowing.  Really knowing.
