Episode 49: Boxing

Some say when we pray for patience, God allows challenges and tests. How else would one know the presence of patience if not by circumstances that require it? During a challenge, as our agitation builds, we look at the person getting on our last nerve, and we blame them for our disquietude. But then that prayer for patience rises in our memory, and we wonder "could that be YOU Lord?" Our mission story begins with a little girl raised in a small town who adopts the phrase "I've got this" as she fights to prove she's worthy of big things. Somewhere in mid-life, we find her on her knees praying that God would intercede in the impact her driven-ness is having on others. Literally she prays for "the possibility of being a deeply spiritual person who has a positive, rather than a negative impact on the people I care about." Our story ends with God bringing her people to impact and care about. Lots of them. Oodles of them! Curious? We sure hope so.
