This week, I have one of the most wonderful experiences...teaching children about God during a Bible camp at a church by my house. Every year I look forward to this camp because I always feel stronger after the week is over. I know it sounds crazy, but these children teach me so much about my life and faith. It is a beautiful experience.
Today, we talked with the children about patience. It was the sweetest thing to listen to them as they tried to explain what patience means. And the funny thing is, that most of them could define patience better then I could. Even the preschoolers...One of the little boys told me that patience is waiting for something that you want really bad but knowing that it will take time to get it. And how true that is.
After my time in the mountains and now with these children, I am getting the message from God that I need to be patient. Nothing comes overnight and it takes a while to get answers to questions that we have. But if we are patient like I talked about with these kids, answers will come, happiness will come, and the dreams that we have can come true. It just does not happen overnight.
Now I understand what God means when He says that we all must have the faith of a child. Their faith is the strongest of all and I hope that one day I can be just like those kids. :)

Hi G!
Thanks for visiting my blog! Am back, yes! I do agree that we need to be patient in general and not rush into things, as this might make matters worse. After a few incidents of making such errors, I've come to the conclusion that, no matter what happens, I've to be patient, and that que sera sera. The best is yet to come! ;)
