Because no matter how much my parents have asked me to be more patient, no matter much my husband has asked me to be more patient, none of it mattered until I had a kid.

Whether you are graced with the gift of leadership, the gift of athletics, or the gift of creativity, we are called to be good stewards and faithful servants of what is in our hand. No one is exempt, and if you didn’t play your part we would be missing out on the unique grace and the individual strengths that you bring to the here and now. There is a beautiful satisfaction that comes from knowing that we are doing exactly what God made us to do and are being obedient to his calling on our lives. It is as we discover our strengths, and grow comfortable in the grace we have been given, that we will begin to see the promises of God for our wide-open, spacious future begin to take shape.
