Bible Journaling

Patience is a virtue. A virtue that this vulnerable mommy, wife, friend, daughter, sister very often lacks! So, when you start to journal and study the gifts of the Spirit and you are in deep thought about “love being patient”…what happens? You are interrupted by life (in my case, this morning, my children). I learned long ago not to pray for patience because he will give you something to be patient about…So, why not be clever and just study patience? Yet still, the interruption came…and I quickly snapped! How dare them interrupt my time in the Word! My guilt surfaced and then reached deep into my core…the very virtue which I was studying- Oh, how I failed! So, I apologized, gave the girls a short Bible lesson and a lesson into imperfection…Then, I cooked them Keto Pancakes, which they couldn’t get enough of… By the power of the Holy Spirit, I am abound by hope and…I will begin again to PRAY for patience (not just study it). I recognize my imperfection, but in this area, I will overcome! Happy humpday!
