Patience is a Virtue...

I'm guest blogging on the topic of Inner Beauty as a monthly columnist over at Glory and Strength. This year we are looking together at characteristics that set a woman apart as a Christian, as found in Galatians 5:22-23.

Drop by Glory and Strength and click on "Growing in Glory" to find my latest reflections. This month we are talking about patience. Here's a little taste to get you started. (And don't forget to keep reading to the bottom of this post to grab a great discount and free gifts code for Affordable Mineral Makeup too!)

“Wait” seems to be one of God's favorite words in my life. We waited nearly two years from engagement until our wedding. We waited through years of infertility. We waited to see if we would bring home babies through adoption. We waited through high risk pregnancies. We waited through years of disappointment in effort to buy our house. We've waited for work-related situations to resolve. We are still waiting for answers for my health...

Please come read more about patience this week at http://www.gloryandstrength.com/index_files/GrowingInGlory.htm. In June I'll be tackling Not-so-Random Acts of Kindness. :) I would love to hear what you think "kindness" means as I'm putting together my next article. Won't you please leave my your thoughts in the comment section here?
