Pattience is a Virtue

THIS WAS OFFICIALLY WRITEN ON OCTOBER, 7TH, 2008. I JUST REPOSTED IT.
I've been preparing for this for months, we have been preparing for this for months. It's so frustrating to know that we are stuck here because the consulate keeps jerking us around left and right. Asking for one thing after another just to delay us from getting to Brasil. But like Pastor Joshua said it's a fight between the Consulate and God. It's a spiritual fight and we are caught in the middle. Brasil is where all us are called, for at least this season of our lives.When I first got to Elk Grove, California everyone was saying "PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE!" You know what I said? No it's not. Margaret was like, "Honestly it is!" At the time I didn't believe patience was a virtue. But now I've come to understand that without patience we will get no where. Without patience we wont even make it to Brasil because every time the enemy attacks and messes with our mind set and tells his lies a little bit of us will start believe the lier that he is. We wont have patience to fight him. To fight this spiritual war.As we wait to be approved; we pray, worship, seek God, and build relationships. We pray against discouragements and distractions. We pray against sickness and we pray for help. We pray for our Visas and we pray for the kids in Brasil as well as the team some have come to love like Margaret, Bruce and Pastor Joshua. While the other such as me, Janel, and Lindsey long to get there to see what God is doing and to meet the rest of our team. The rest of our family.Patience, it's what we need and what we have. Patience is in fact a Virtue!
