Patience for now and the future

August 18, 2021Leave a comment

I had just finished talking to Mason about my next blog post on patience as we pulled into the Chick-Fil-A drive-thru line. I groaned as I realized our line was 5 times longer than the other lane.

In fact, nonverbal communication often tells us more about a person than verbal. In the same way, silence helps us get … Continue reading When God Seems Silent: Part 2
