Had finished the congregational singing and the stuff early in the service, were just waiting for the minister to come to the podium and start preaching. Except, he didn't show up. We waited. And waited. And…waited. The awkward silence stretched, with people looking around with a "now what?" expression. <br /><br />And C.J.

It only makes ME feel bad. <br /><br />Patience isn't my strong point, by any means. But most things are out of my control, and I do a lot better when I remember that. :)DeAnna Julie Dodsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09006564626571868446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502152359497137754.post-12433914970666466302014-06-04T17:51:36.304-04:002014-06-04T17:51:36.304-04:00Glad for the good timing!

I try. Really, I do. But it's hard to let it go sometimes. I pray a lot. I think letting go of the worry and anxiousness is my biggest lesson to learn.
