"Patience makes that more tolerable which it is impossible to prevent or remove." -Horace
"Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet." -J. J. Rousseau
"I see thou hast pass-d sentence on my part; and I'll no longer weep, or plead against it; but with the humlest, most obedient patience meet thy dear hands, and kiss them when they wound me." -Otway
Here we are in August. I am reminded of a project I had planned for this month, which I laid aside in favor of God's plan. While the project, an outreach trip to Papua New Guinea, would have been a good thing, it was not God's timing. I have thanked God many times since I put aside the trip for His grace and peace in calming my heart and mind after feeling a burden to go and trying to get life settled in preparation for it. I hope that He will see fit in my future to help make a way for me to go. Please pray in the next two weeks for Stan and Tresa Rowe and their family in Papua New Guinea as they prepare for a revival meeting and try to reach more souls for Christ. Also, remember Jim and Mary Blume, another fine family and good friends working for His Glory in PNG.
"Patience--Of whose soft grace, I have her sovereign aid, and rest myself content." -Shakespeare
