In life, we all have our sinking points but what we do at such points will determine whether we actually sink or not. The circumstances we find ourselves sometimes are enough to make us sink in life. There are times it feels like nothing is working in our lives and we see our lives at a standstill; no forward or backward movement. I have experienced such moments in my life and still do sometimes. I have had a long period of time in my life where it seemed like I wasn't moving ahead in life; no moving forward in life.

No one likes waiting and no one wants to wait. Waiting can be so frustrating sometimes especially in this time of instant gratification when it seems the reason for your waiting will never come to pass and the waiting seems unending. At every stage of our lives, there is a waiting period for one thing or the other and most times we wait for things that are out of our control (if they were within our reach, then no one would wait for anything) but there is always a beautiful side at the end of our waiting . Waiting increases our patience, builds our character, hope and faith hence patience as a virtue that we all should practice. "And patience produces character and character produces hope and this hope will not disappoint us because God has poured out His love to fill our hearts. He gave us His love through the Holy sp
