Each time He tells me "as long as it takes." <br /><br />I'm reminded of the "silent years" of Paul's life right after his conversion to Christianity. I wonder if he ever asked, "How long before I can move on to the next season?"TC Aveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01686886257486186821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791261486111154318.post-69716580793589665472014-04-03T10:30:39.482-05:002014-04-03T10:30:39.482-05:00Glynn, the message of perseverance in this book re...Glynn, the message of perseverance in this book really resonates.

My wife will cry if something ever happens to it... she loves that tree, especially when it fills the yard with the sweet fragrance of its blooms.<br /><br />Although I do not know your situation, know that I am praying for you brother!

It is also the things the Father works in my heart during the waiting. It seems He doesn't waste a thing - just as He said.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14937532276250199445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791261486111154318.post-3219378927829660862014-04-02T11:44:25.275-05:002014-04-02T11:44:25.275-05:00It is a beautiful metaphor.

To do what we were made to do and receive the smile of Jesus? What an incredible thing. Takes faith and humility to keep standing and walk in the endurance.
