Two quotes on patience that a friend of mine shared with me:
“God never hurries. There are no deadlines against
which He must work. Only to know this is to quiet our
spirits and relax our nerves.” A.W. Tozer
“The strength of patience hangs on our capacity to
believe that God is up to something good for us in all
our delays and detours.” John Piper
This is seriously needed, especially in my line of work when job descriptions are over-weighted with the lead-based expectations of "eternal urgency" and "kingdom consequences".
What is required of us but to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with our God in stillness and acknowledgment that He is God and we are not?

How timely this post is for me! Thanks for sharing about patience when in the world of being on campus for my first week, I feel like I have no idea what I'm doing, have so many dreams, but need oh so much patience through this transitional time.
Hey...those sound familiar. Wierd to say...but I was encouraged by what you said as a response to them. Micah is such a great passage to walk through during times when worries seem to engulf you..had never thought of it in that context. Let's catch up sometimes soon!
