“ Waiting”- I don’t know about you, but I become irate when I must wait. It’s at this time I realize just how low my patience level is. As children of God, it sometimes becomes even more frustrating when we must wait for something we have been praying for because God the Father has tremendous patience and it’s a characteristic he wants each of us to develop. Waiting can be our friend, or it can be our foe, it can be positive or negative, it can be joyous, or it can be full of sorrow; ultimately the choice is yours.
