Continue in Patience

Continue in Patience; patience requires that we obey God's commandments and faithfully wait for His will to be fulfilled. What an appropriate reminder for us as we continue in patience throught our adoption journey.

President Dieter F. Uchtdorf's talk he states "Patience—the ability to put our desires on hold for a time—is a precious and rare virtue. We want what we want, and we want it now. Therefore, the very idea of patience may seem unpleasant and, at times, bitter. Nevertheless, without patience, we cannot please God; we cannot become perfect. Indeed, patience is a purifying process that refines understanding, deepens happiness, focuses action, and offers hope for peace." To learn more, read President Dieter F. Uchtdorf's entire talk, "Continue in Patience."

During this process we are learning to put aside our wants and desires in order to practice patience in this journey. We know without a doubt that Heavenly Father has a plan for our adoption path and that we must follow His path in faith and patience. How I love the gospel and the plan and path we are following. I pray that through our process of continuing in patience, we will become more worthy of the blessing of adoption.
