And he puzzled and puzzled til his puzzler was sore.

I see life as one great big puzzle. Heavenly Father gives us one or two pieces of the puzzle at a time as we're ready. My problem is that every time I get a piece I think I know what the whole puzzle looks like and become desperate to complete it as fast as possible.

Then Heavenly Father gives me a new piece, It doesn't fit in "my" puzzle. I get confused, I panic, then I try to re-create the puzzle to include the new piece but still be my image.......He's very patient with me.

I've found a lot of peace in taking each piece and seeing how it fits, and then waiting for the next one. Instead of trying to see the whole puzzle I'm trying to focus more on each individual piece and imagine the possibilities. Instead of trying to make each piece conform to MY vision, I try to see how each piece adds to the beauty of the picture that is HIS vision (and let's be honest, his picture is WAY better than mine).
