aaaah...absolutely!

Yes, I agree with your friend,

pray for patience, and you will get

trials.....you dont just get free

patience poured in from above!

There is the crux.....we still have to

earn it into ourselves, just like

everything else.

Be careful what you pray for....

you might just get it!

Great to meet you, and hope to see

you here all the way through!

Good Luck!

Thanks so much...

What an important message for me. I once prayed for a pure heart and everything unlike itself came up to test me. (Mother Teresa calls it her "inner Hitler"... imagine that from a  saint-!!)

My love IS my paradise... It really is RIGHT NOW. I can say that... don't need a perfectly pure heart to say that. 

Sending you lots of love from my paradise to yours...

Thanks!

dear friends for your comments!

This is my second time around Tools but the first time that I have been blogging about the journey.  I'm finding it's an entirely different program for me now.  

Isn't it great that so many things in life can come to us more than one time and we still learn from each experience?

Have a terrific day!

Good Discovery

 Doll, your friend is very correct and thank God you believed her in a simple child-like faith. Its great you've experienced it,

I had same challenge in 2000 that when you pray for patience, you simple get trials that would test the patience asked for.
