Saw this photo from Veggie Tales and definitely had to share it with you all.  I don’t know about you, but I find myself waiting for the manifestation of promises and/or the solutions to life’s daily problems to come.  Waiting is inevitable but how we wait is where our maturity in Christ is displayed.  YearsContinueContinue reading “Perfect Patience”
