It has been on my mind…Thanksgiving! This is how we as believers are to exist!

Abraham waited twenty-five years for a son. Joseph waited for thirteen years before his dream came true. 

Moses waited forty years in the wilderness.

Paul waited fourteen years in Arabia!

We can go on and on.

Even Jesus had to wait eighteen years before He could enter into His public ministry.
