This guy was so cool he had our July Number tattooed on his arm. Thanks man!... So there you have it we have moved a few spots. I must admit the past 2 months have been a struggle with no news of referrals, so I was a little surprised to see we had moved 3 spots. I have learned through this experience so far that I really have no patients,and it is something I really need to work on. I keep asking Mike why more staff isn't hired or a bigger facility made with so many children waiting and so many people on the wait list. I was getting so frustrated. Then the other day I was reading out of the May 2010 Ensign and I came a cross a talk by President Uchtdorf on continuing in patients and his words inspired me. This part in particular:
There is an important concept here: patience is not passive resignation, nor is it failing to act because of our fears. Patience means active waiting and enduring. It means staying with something and doing all that we can—working, hoping, and exercising faith; bearing hardship with fortitude, even when the desires of our hearts are delayed. Patience is not simply enduring; it is enduring well!
So far I have been a sucky endurer. There is so much more that I can be doing as I wait and I am sure if I do, the wait won't be so unbearable. I started reading the book The Connected Child in preparation for our sweet baby girl. It definitely has some good ideas. There are a lot more things I can be doing to prepare for this baby, including giving more attention to my kiddos and less attention to my computer... I can work more, hope more and exercise more faith.
That's all for now :)
