You might wonder why I chose patience as my topic. Lately, in the past several months.... patience has been on my mind, in my blessings, in my experiences, in my ever learning time. Patience with chuch, with jobs, with relationships..... PATIENCE. And as tired as I get from hearing the word.... it teaches me something new everytime. Today, it taught me faith... faith in the unknown, trust in the things which I tend to fear.... it has taught me compassion and a greater love. I just thought I would at least mention that I learned something. :)
