Patience is a Virtue

Webster defines patience as "being patient, calm endurance" and patient as "calmly tolerating delay, confusion, etc ... diligent; persevering."

I believe we have had major lessons in patience and perseverance over the past few years. So, enough already! I am getting antsy. So much to think about with the end of the semester, the holidays coming up, and the possibility of traveling before the end of the year. Could we be traveling in December?
Okay, this is what goes through my mind daily:

1. Today is November 19, if we received a referral today we would pray then send the medicals to an IA doctor for review
2. Pray
3. Then we would have phone meeting with IA doctor prior to making our decision to accept the referral
4. Pray
5. We would have approximately a week to give our agency our decision (after more prayer) to accept the referral
6. Pray
7. Once we accept the referral, we begin planning to travel
8. Pray
9. Apply for visas
10. Pray
11. Work with travel agency for flight arrangements
12. Pray
13. Pack
14. Pray
15. Miscellaneous preparations
16. Pray
17. Travel around December 10

So, each moring I wake up and add a day to the travel date. I have been doing this since we received news of our registration November 12. Actually, we are now heading into a very good time for us to travel in December, that is, of course if I don't drive myself insane before :-0

All in God's perfect timing,

Still waiting and trying to remain patient,
