My Waiting Tutor

An ongoing problem is like a tutor who is always by your side. The learning possibilities are limited only by your willingness to be teachable.

We learn from the hard parts of life.
Have you considered the rough spots
might be the favorites of your Higher Power?
When I'm confused, insecure, timid
about stepping out on a limb
I'm more likely to be malleable,
willing to be shaped...even redesigned.
May I be willing to admit to myself
when I'm over my head,
willing to listen to people around me
or even to sit still and listen
for a voice from within
with wisdom beyond mine
and be shaped and guided.
