Lessons in Patience.
My dad once told me (half-jokingly) to be careful when praying for patience, because you get lessons in patience and opportunities to be stretched in that area. So I tried to avoid praying for patience. But then I met a really patient person who made me want to pray for patience. So here I am, in the middle of many lessons in patience that the Lord has given me. And for the first time, I'm not just excited for the destination, but I'm enjoying the journey.
